I bought some of these once.  Used them to connect a PS/2 KVM to USB computers with M/M adapters.  Great in theory, but the quality left something to be desired for.  Phantom keypresses drove me crazy.  Eventually I found a USB KVM on eBay to replace my PS/2 one.

Just be aware that with eBay-sourced adapters, you may run that risk.

I have had several that looked like that and never had a problem.

But, I am not a gamer, so I may be far less demanding than you.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.

Sooooryyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Damm, I forgot the most important part, the link!
LOL

USB 2.0 to PS2 PS/2 PC Converter Connector Cable Cord Mouse /Keyboard Adapter

This is the one that I bought.

Regarding the "quality":
IMHO, pretty decent by this range of price.
Windows ready (generic drivers downloaded from internet automagically).
No issues whatsoever until now (I've tested it with 5 different keyboards and all of then worked fine).
No headaches AND I'm happy.

This is proof that just because it comes from China and it's cheap it doesn't means to be bad!
