Replacement PS/2 Keyboard to USB Adapter

Connect a compatible dual-protocol PS/2 keyboard to a computer USB-A port using a 6-pin Mini-DIN female to USB-A male passive adapter.

PS/2 female input

Accepts the 6-pin Mini-DIN male plug from a supported keyboard.

USB-A male connection

Plugs into a computer USB-A port.

Replacement passive adapter

Intended for keyboards that support both PS/2 and USB signalling and originally used this type of converter.

What to know

This passive adapter does not actively translate PS/2 signalling into USB. It works only with keyboards designed to support both protocols, generally those that originally shipped with a similar PS/2-to-USB adapter. For a PS/2-only keyboard, use a suitable active converter such as the separately sold USBPS2PC.

Australian supply and warranty: Supplied by DeviceDeal as an Australian-market product with the official Lifetime StarTech.com manufacturer warranty in Australia. Keep your DeviceDeal tax invoice; terms, eligibility and product assessment apply.

Frequently asked questions

What does the GC46MFKEY connect?

It connects a supported PS/2 keyboard to a computer through a USB-A port.

Which connectors are on the GC46MFKEY?

It has one 6-pin Mini-DIN PS/2 female connector and one USB-A male connector.

Will the GC46MFKEY work with every PS/2 keyboard?

No. The keyboard must support both PS/2 and USB signalling, typically because it originally included a similar passive adapter.

Does the GC46MFKEY actively convert PS/2 to USB?

No. It is a passive replacement adapter and does not translate signals electronically.

What should I use for a PS/2-only keyboard?

Use a suitable active converter; StarTech identifies the separately sold USBPS2PC for devices that did not originally include a passive converter.

The package contains one replacement PS/2 keyboard to USB adapter.
