⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Data Center Administrator
"This adapter has been a game-changer in our server room. I’ve been using the Advanced Model with KVM switches since February 2025, and after six months of daily use, it’s still performing flawlessly. The braid shielding really does reduce interference—I no longer get random keyboard lockups during system switches. Plug-and-play worked instantly with our Windows 11 management stations."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Home Retro Setup Hobbyist
"I bought the Base Model to connect my vintage mechanical keyboard and ball mouse to an old gaming rig running Windows XP. Setup was literally seconds thanks to the color-coded ports—purple for keyboard, green for mouse. No drivers needed, and it just worked. After four months of weekend use, the build feels solid, and the short 0.2m cable is perfect for keeping things tidy on my retro desk."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Reynolds - Corporate IT Manager
"We purchased several of the Pro Models for our finance team’s dual-monitor KVM setup. Now over five months in (purchased January 2025), all units have held up well under constant switching between systems. The tinned copper conductors seem to make a difference in signal stability—no more 'USB not recognized' pop-ups. Only reason I didn’t give five stars is that the 1.0m cable, while helpful, can get tangled without proper cable management."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lena Park - Field Service Engineer
"As someone who services legacy industrial machines, I need reliable, no-fuss adapters. This one stands out. I’ve been using the Advanced Model since March 2025 (3 months now), and it’s survived drops, dust, and tight panel spaces. The PVC jacket hasn’t cracked, and the plug durability is impressive—I’ve plugged/unplugged it over a hundred times during diagnostics with zero signal loss. The built-in IC chip makes compatibility a non-issue across older motherboards."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months

Mark Ellison - Senior IT Consultant, 15+ Years Experience
"For organizations managing hybrid legacy-modern environments, this PS/2 to USB adapter line offers one of the most reliable and cost-effective solutions on the market. The Pro Model’s 20,000 plug cycle rating and enhanced EMI shielding make it ideal for data centers using KVMs. I’ve specified it in three recent server room upgrades with zero reported failures."
Dr. Alicia Mendez - Human Interface Device Researcher
"The use of tinned copper conductors and proper braid shielding in such a compact, low-cost adapter is impressive. Most budget adapters skimp here, leading to signal degradation. This product maintains clean data transmission at USB 2.0 speeds, which is more than sufficient for keyboards and mice. I recommend the Base Model for home users and the Advanced Model for professional multi-system setups."
