does there exist a PS2 to USB adapter?

[gplanet]

or is it just the other way around?

 

[bakchoy]

I've never heard of a PS2 to USB adapter. I do have one that goes the other way. Why would you want one unless you have one of those new-fangled MB's that only has USB ports and no PS2's. I'm afraid you're out of luck.

I know it exists, because 3M sells an ergonomic mouse which comes standard with a USB to PS/2 adapter. Not sure if you can buy this part anywhere, but someone makes one...

twitty,

i know those exist, but i want something that will allow me to plug my PS2 keyboard into a USB port..because i have my game theater xp on top my desk and it is easier to have it plugged in there.

 

[Need4Speed]

yes they exist..i have one for my keyboard

 

[Twitty]

I've seen those too. Again, not going to be much help in the "finding one" department....

http://www.usbgear.com/usa/USB_ps2_adapter.html -- Has one for 36.50USD that accepts both keyboard and mouse (and for 3 dollars more, a serial port).

http://www.usbstuff.com/ps2.html -- Has a single connector for 25USD or a dual one (less pretty than the above, but smaller) for 35 dollars. Also Belkin but no reason I can think of to pay 15 dollars more for the same thing.

I tried my intellimouse with ps2 and the movements were jagged like so I took off the adapter and it became smooth.

From that, I suggest to get a USB mouse, they start at $20 for optical ones.

He's not looking for anything to do with a mouse. He's trying to plug his keyboard in.

Cyberguys and search for "USB to PS2 adapter", Item# 104 0477. It's $21.95 each. Hope this helps.

i'm asking for a PS2 to USB adapter........someone mentioned one, but damn $36 for that :Q

 

[Nefrodite]

well i have one thats just a wire with the two connectors. probably doesn't work with anything that doens't already support usb, but it does work as a power cable if a device needs ps2 power and u only have usb.. blah it was from action comptuers

 

[nortexoid]

for $36, u might as well buy a new keyboard/mouse/whatever u're looking for that comes in USB natively

Don't buy them separately, thats a rip off. Every logitech mouse and keyboard I've bought has one of these. They are all cheaper then those adapters. I have a few spares lying around in case I need one.

Wise man that Nortexoid.


For those who don't read threads properly;

He wants to plug a PS2 device, into his USB port. Duh .. read the damn thread, everyone and his mom has USB to PS2 .. the man wants it the other way around.
