StarTech PS/2 Mouse To USB Adapter And PS/2 Keyboard To USB Adapter!
The influx of new technologies for computers has not made everything better. If you owned your PC for many years, it is entirely probable that you have an old mouse or keyboard that you like. Perhaps it is an ergonomic keyboard that you are very comfortable with. Maybe you have a customized computer mouse that matches both your grip and your sense of style. Many of the older computer peripherals like mice and keyboards connected to the computer through specialized PS/2 ports. Many PCs and laptop computers today are manufactured without that special port. As more computers adapt the USB interface format exclusively, those who have favorite older peripherals are compelled to upgrade their accessories in addition to their systems.
Fortunately, StarTech is here to help consumers who have the computer accessories they were happy with and do not want to change! StarTech manufactures a PS/2 mouse to USB adapter. They also have an adapter that transforms any PS/2 keyboard into a USB-compatible device. These are very simple devices, but both are very cool.
The StarTech PS/2 Mouse to USB Adapter is a white plastic and metal device around 1 ½” in length. It is a solid adapter that features a female PS/2 Mouse port and a male USB connector. To use the adapter, simply plug the male end of your favorite older computer mouse into the female end of the adapter. The adapter and mouse will now plug into any female USB port. Through this adapter, you will be able to use any older mouse on any plug-and-play capable computer or computer device.
In an identical fashion, StarTech’s PS/2 Keyboard to USB Adapter allows you to continue using your favorite older keyboard on your newer systems. Color coded purple like the standardized PS/2 keyboard jack, StarTech’s PS/2 Keyboard to USB Adapter features a female PS/2 port and a male USB jack. Simply plugging the USB jack of the adapter into any USB-compatible device allows you to then plug your favorite keyboard into the jack and continue using it. In this way, you may use your already-purchased ergonomic keyboard or keyboard with sentimental value on your new, faster computer.
Just because technology is changing, you should not have to give up the devices you already own and love. StarTech’s PS/2 Mouse and PS/2 Keyboard adapters allow you to use the peripherals you enjoy with the benefits of your new computer device!
