USB-A to Dual PS/2 Y Splitter

This adapter converts a USB-A male connector into two PS/2 female ports. An active intelligent circuit board inside the Y-splitter translates signals from legacy PS/2 keyboards and mice. The device draws power directly from the USB port without needing an external supply. It enables older input devices to function on modern computers lacking native PS/2 ports.

Verify USB port availability

Ensure the host system has a free USB-A port to accept the adapter's male plug. Confirm that the keyboard and mouse to be connected use standard PS/2 mini-DIN connectors. The adapter combines both peripherals through a single USB connection, so the operating system must recognise composite HID devices. No driver installation is typically required for basic functionality.

Suits users with legacy PS/2 peripherals

Ideal for anyone keeping a trusted PS/2 keyboard or mouse while upgrading to a newer PC without PS/2 headers. Not intended for buyers who need to connect USB keyboards or mice to PS/2 ports, as the signal direction is fixed from PS/2 to USB. Also unsuitable for setups requiring two separate USB ports for bandwidth or power reasons. Users needing PS/2-to-PS/2 extension should choose a different cable type.

Questions about this item

Does the G08-213 adapter include the PS/2 keyboard and mouse or must they be purchased separately?

The G08-213 is the adapter only; your existing PS/2 keyboard and mouse plug into its two female ports.

The G08-213 has two PS/2 female ports — can I connect two keyboards or two mice instead of one of each?

The adapter converts PS/2 signals to USB; it accepts any combination of two PS/2 devices such as two keyboards, two mice, or one of each.

The headline says the G08-213 uses an active circuit board — does that mean it draws extra power from the USB port?

Yes, the built-in active circuit board is powered directly by the USB port so no external supply is needed.
