Just bought new dell tower and my keyboard sticks. I want to connect my old COMPAQ PS2 6 prong keyboard - is ther a converter somewhere? I think my PS2 needs the female.

You should check on geekhack. There are some people on there have created different converts for old different keyboards.

If there is a PS2 on the computer, it will be female and PS2 keyboards will be male. The StarTech adapter your looking at is USB keyboard to PS2 computer. It sounds like this has nothing to do with your problem.

I bought this for an Older Dell with monitor - remember you don't need a keyboard/mouse because new ones come with this unit. It will definitely work with any monitor because those connections have never changed. Depending on how old your keyboard/mouse are they may have the older small PC connectors (probably not the really old fat ones) - this new keyboard/mouse are USB port connections.

I have an old E Machines keyboard that I love, worn off letters and all and it works GREAT with it. It's basically the old plug in end plugging into a piece to plug it into the newer ports.

You have to buy an adapter to covert PS2 Connections on the computer to USB. The switch is USB only

I have the Pwr+ HD2 power supply. Input is 120V AC, output is 2 amps at 12 volts DC. If that is what your keyboard needs (check the owner's manual or whatever is written next to your input jack) then it ought to work on your keyboard.

Not by itself. You first need to get an AT 5 pin to PS2 adapter. Then plug the PS2 adapter into the Ziotek adapter. The Zeotek converts the power from a USB port into the power an old AT keyboard needs.

I am not sure about the keyboard, but this adapter is not a good one. Do not buy.

No.. this is for piano type keyboard (instrument), not computer keyboard. what you need is PS/2 (PS2) keyboard to USB adapter.

This adapts a PS2 keyboard/mouse to a USB docking station. The PS2 connectors are female.

No. If I'm correct, no one sells keyboards bundled with usb to ps2 adapters. You'll have to buy one separately, or purchase a used bundle on ebay or craigslist.

I don't own a Logitec keyboard, but the symbol on the StarTech Adapater end is for a PS2 keyboard and the other plug in has the symbol on it for your PS2 mouse. Keyboard are plug- and-play equipment and unless you have a very unusual keyboard it should work just fine. You will find plenty of all kinds of keyboards anyway at garage sales for $1-2 if you have something very unusual. But, I see hundreds of them and I've never seen anything unusual about a keyboard other than those that communicate via remote signal. I have Logitec speakers and mouse and they all work in a conventional manner. If it has a PS2 end on it, you should be fine.

It works just fine on my Dell. Just make sure the picture of what you're thinking of ordering matches exactly what your current keyboard looks like.

a ps/2 (female) to usb (male) connector is what I used and it works fine on my older pc, (core 2 duo) (windows 7) which has both USB and USB 2 interfacesI don't know about USB 3 slots, but your computer probably has a combination of them, so it should work. I can't vouch for windows 8, if that's what you are running, since I haven't tried the keyboard on a windows 8 machine. It's a killer keyboard.

Not sure. But, I CAN say that this USB is really a 'converter' and I used several of them now. And enable use one of the oldest ibm keyboards ever made on a windows 7 machine.

I don't think it will. I bought one to connect a PS/2 keyboard and it won't work. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be used. May be worth a try, since it's not that expensive.

Connected via the USB->PS/2 converter the documentation on the keyboard says that there is no limit. I have not actually tested this, as the machine I use it with does not have a PS/2 keyboard port, but with USB I have yet to run into any problems and there have been a few situations where I have five or six keys pressed at a time.

My Keytronic keyboard uses a USB connector but I think you can still find Keytronics that use the old-fashioned PS2 connector. USB is the right way to go. I like the feel of the Keytronic keys both for tactile feedback and for size and height of the keys. It is not particularly sleek-looking but I wouldn't have any other brand. And the price is right!
