What is the best Keyboard and mouse that can be used with PS/2 Ports?

[rcarlos243]

It will be used on an old KVM at my work that only supports PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard Input for the console.

For the keyboard, I am looking to get either a Noppoo choc mini 84 Cherry MX Brown or an Adesso Compact Size Mechanical Gaming Keyboard AKB-625UB with PS/2 adapter.

For the mouse, I am looking to get a Logitech G500 (hyperscroll wheel and thumb buttons is a must)


Will it work?

Do you guys have any specific brand or model recommendation for USB to PS/2 adapter for both the keyboard and mouse?

you will almost certainly need an active usb to psu adapter.

very few modern keyboards and mice support ps2 via those cheap passive adapters.

Yeah, I used those for years with my old KVM switch with PS/2 ports. I had upgraded my equipment and didn't want to do the expensive switch until I moved away from VGA. Those adapters worked fine for me.
