Testimonial
This
is a pretty cool little piece of equipment. I'm on one
the newer laptops with Windows XP so it only has a touch
pad for a mouse and of course the built in keyboard. I
connected the USB end of the adapter in and XP recognized
it right away and I just had to wait a minute to load,
I plugged in my keyboard and mouse and that was it. No
conflicts between IRQ addresses or devices. The same functionality
was there, I didn't see a difference between using the
mouse or keyboard connected to USB to PS/2 converter as
opposed to the touch pad and keyboard on the computer.
