>look on ebay

Because you literally aren't even trying.

Entered "usb to ps2 adapter" in ebay, 2x of the stuff for one dollah is the first result.

I've got one kicking around somewhere you can have for free.

Post your address and I'll use the fabulous Britbongistan Royal Mail to post it to you.

That'll be 20 Bank of America cheeseburger tokens please.

thanks anon didn't know about this site

only place i've ever seen that does free shipping to canada

>>61931145
I get one from the dongle fairy every year

>>61931195
I've been buying shit on ebay about once a week for longer than you've been alive. and never been scammed

also you need to be 18 to post here

Aliexpress has them for $1 too.

Note that I had bad luck using these with older PS/2 keyboards, I think it's because they don't have a chip or something which a few of the Logitechs or such did when they came included with this as an accessory. Anyhow, only other models worked.

>>61931988
Most USB keyboards used to support PS/2

>>61931195
Learn to chink shit general.

No, DX isn't a scam site, and neither is eBay (though there is the occasional scammer on eBay, rare is rare).

>>61932001
Before they supported both for a moment, they were just PS/2 and so on for a longer while, and on these that kind of adapter shouldn't work. That was the point.

>>61932025
Of course a USB to PS/2 adapter doesn't work for a PS/2 keyboard, you don't need it.

>>61932045
No, there are models that do work.

> you don't need it
Huh, you need it for exactly the same reason, namely that you only have USB ports on your device now, or at least not enough PS/2 ports.

>>61932066
Oh are you talking about PS/2 keyboards that support USB? Of course this adapter won't work, it's the exact opposite of what's needed. This is for USB keyboards that support PS/2.

>>61932081
Wait, you still have a PS/2 port but no USB? Very weird.

But you're right, I've been wrong about the nature of this adapter.

>>61931145
I have one and don't need it.

>>61931145
I've got about ten of these, several different models, about half LogiTec. All for free. Don't use any of them anymore, maybe 5 or 7 years now?

Afraid to lose or throw any away because I "might need one" one day and don't know where to find them anymore. Got half a closet full of dongles and similar obsolete junk just like them.

>No. (you) can't have any of them.
> I "might need one" some day.

>>61932112
No, you're not following. All I'm saying is that there's a PS/2 to USB adapter and a USB to PS/2 one, they're two separate things and not interchangeable. I never said anything about the ports on my computer.

>>61932150
Throw shit away if you really don't know if you'll ever need it and China sells it for a few bucks.

>>61932155
Yea but USB->PS/2 you basically never need unless you're still operating a computer that has only PS/2 and such older ports.

>>61932180
I'd rather use my motherboard's dedicated keyboard port than one of the universal ports that everything else uses.

>>61931195
your mum is scam

>>61931145
try aliexpress

>>61931145
>and no i'm not paying $15 shipping for a $3 adapter

Shipping has really gone up in recent years. I don't know why, because gas prices have plummeted compared to the $4 mark from the past.

>>61936150
Un mail service relabeled China as developed and stopped giving them a free pass on shipping.

I've heard that PS/2 keyboards and mice work diffrent than USB keyboards. Supposedly, PS/2 devices send signals to interrupt the CPU, while USB devices get polled by the CPU. If i have a USB keyboard and i buy one of these, will that change it signals from "polling" into "interrupting"?

>>61936879
Yes.

and scammers also get their shit pushed in pretty quick on eBay

op is underageB&

>>61936879
Yes.

The only disadvantage PS/2 has over USB for keyboards is that you can't reseat it without power cycling.
Other then that its lower latency, can accept more inputs at once, and isn't dependent on software drivers so if your Kernel is kinda shitting the bed, you still should be able to input assuming it hasent out right gone in to Panic.
