They didn't work with or without the KVM and I even had a coworker try one on his computer with the same result. they don't work.the keyboard would repeat keys or not work. I bought two to connect two laptops to an IOGear KVM switch, thought I could save some money with an off brand. It didn't work with Linux, Windows XP or Vista, I tried it all. I ended up buying the IOGear splitters and have had no problem through a KVM on windos and Linux.IOGear USB to PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Adapter GUC10KM
Two failed the same way. This didn't work with my MiniView SE KVM Switch. The mouse worked fine, but the keyboard worked for about 20 seconds, then started producing random keystrokes. I replaced it with the Adesso PS/2 to USB Adapter, connects 2 PS/2 connectors to 1 USB port/hub (ADP-PU21 ), which I'm using to write this review. It was much more expensive, but it works.
This adapter works well when plugged directly into the keyboard and mouse. It did not, however, work well when plugged into the ps/2 ports of my KVM switch. No idea why.Otherwise no complaints.
My old Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse worked. Based on the reviews, it seems that this either works or it doesn't. And it is working fine on a HP laptop with Windows Vista and a wired Dell keyboard and mouse. It worked for me. I was using windows ME and Windows XP. I'm quite happy with this device.
I bought this because it specifically says 'converter', but it's just an adapter and won't work for what I need.
