*NEW in Box* SIIG USB to PS/2 Adapter JU-ACB012-S2 - BIN $7.50 + $4 shipping (to me) (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Box-SIIG-USB-PS-2-Adapter-JU-ACB012-S2-/180571440683)

I got one to see how well it works and to go with my SIIG keyboard, :wink:. Hope it works OK. I found a few reviews at Newegg that looked promising. A couple said it died quickly but looks like there is a warranty so hoping for the best.

Hah. That's what you get for not reading the whole thing. I know, it happens to be pretty often, :wink:. But on the other hand if you take too long, you can miss an opportunity.

SOS I deleted my reply to which this was a quote, I did not wish to increase my Post-counts with silly errors caused by my deteriorating eye-sight. :sorry:

What is it in a collector that says a SiiG adapter for a SiiG keyboard is required? Sheesh.

I DO NOT NEED THIS ADAPTER.

:wink:, I never knew I needed it until I saw it for sale, click/click and it's on the way!
I don't know what it is, I was possessed and could not resist, :sad:.
The reviews looked good enough and I can use another so why not!
You can perhaps learn from my mistake, or success, :smile:.

Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself, :biggrin:

Now do you think this works perfectly with the Minitouch? Then it would be a deal

I have no idea, but one is on the way so I'll be finding out.

The Newegg Reviews (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812191021) run from "complete garbage" to "It ALWAYS works when some of the other brands don't."

Four of the reviews are 5 star and two are 1 star. Both of the 1 stars (even "complete garbage") say it worked well but broke. One of these concluded from the experience that it was time to "Bite the bullet and buy a new keyboard and/or mouse." - not something anyone on this forum would be likely to conclude, :wink:.

I usually throw out the very lowest ratings due to the idi0t factor - like folks who rate a product down for reasons like they misused it, didn't understand what it was, it didn't ship fast enough, etc. Since these are new and presumably have a warranty, I would understand rating them down but these seem extreme.

So I'm choosing to think it will at least be very good, you'll have to draw your own conclusions.

Although I am using Belkins ps/2 to USB adapters with my MiniTouchs ATM, I am still searching for a Gigaware® PS/2 to USB Adapter (1 Port), apparently it also works.

I previously used a Bluecube (pic of it attached to MiniTouch ONE), it blocked one of the laptop USB ports, but it also works.

I have Belkins as well. And a few older generic crappy ones I won't count. I hope this to be on par with the Belkins, better would also work! ;-D

I soldered together my own passive USB adapter so I could use a full-sized keyboard with my laptop computer.

Mine came in the mail. Couple days ago actually. Took me a while to get it out of the box, :wink:. I've only tried with an M13 so far. My wife forced me to clean up recently so I have to go drag some out to do more testing.
