Good Dual PS2 to USB adapter?
« on: Mon, 27 April 2015, 20:39:02 »
Would like to use my recently acquired IBM M13 on my laptop and am confused by the sheer amount of adapters available.

Is there a generally well received dual PS2 to USB adapter out there?

(Not really considering the Soarer or the Blue Cube because they only have 1 PS2 connection).

I have had had excellent success 90%+ of the time with cheap crap like this:

but a lot of people think that you need quality stuff.

Also, Chinese junk takes 3 weeks.
"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.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I have had really good luck with the Belkin dual PS/2 to USB adapter.
(I don't know if they make/sell them anymore)

The Cables-2-Go 32185 adapter works too.

The Trendnet TU-PS2 USB to PS/2 Converter works as well.

All 3 do work with both.

Edit: Yes M13.
