Four small USB to PS/2 adapters in black plastic, two Type-A and two Type-C connectors

Fervit

Fervit USB 2.0 PS/2 Adapter Kit 4pcs Type-A Type-C

SKU CH-W2KD-XKHWR

Four USB 2.0 adapters connect PS/2 keyboards or mice to Type-A or Type-C ports without drivers

  • Reversible USB-C plug simplifies connection orientation
  • Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation
  • Four adapter types cover male and female USB-A and USB-C to PS/2
  • Adds PS/2 ports when USB ports are scarce or faulty
  • Not hot-swappable — power off before connecting

What the kit contains

This four-piece adapter kit from Fervit lets you connect PS/2 keyboards and mice to both USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports. Each pack includes male and female variants for each USB style, covering legacy and modern port types. It is aimed at users who need to keep older input devices working on newer computers or industrial equipment. Buyers who need wireless or Bluetooth connectivity will not be served by this wired adapter set.

Compatibility requirement

The adapters work with most generic PS/2-enabled keyboards and mice that contain an internal controller chip. Devices lacking that chip will not function, so verifying the peripheral specification before purchase is essential. The kit operates at USB 2.0 speeds and requires no driver installation on supported operating systems. It is not hot-swappable; the host must be powered off before connecting or disconnecting any adapter.

Installation notes

Because the adapters are not hot-swappable, a system restart is required after the initial connection for the operating system to recognise the peripheral. If the middle mouse button becomes unresponsive, a further restart restores normal operation. The passive design draws negligible power from the USB port and adds no active cooling or noise. No external power supply is needed for any of the four adapter types.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 2.0 rating mean when I plug a PS/2 keyboard or mouse into a modern computer?

The adapter runs at USB 2.0 speed, which is more than enough for standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse data rates, so input latency will not be affected.

Which USB standard does the adapter use and what does that limit in practice?

It uses USB 2.0, limiting the connection to low-speed or full-speed signalling, which is exactly what PS/2 devices require and does not restrict normal use.

What do I need on my PC and peripherals for the four adapters to physically connect?

You need a free USB-A or USB-C port on the computer and a 6-pin mini-DIN PS/2 plug on the keyboard or mouse; the kit covers both port genders.
