USB PS2 Adapter
Keyspan is now shipping its new for Macs and PCs. The USB PS/2 Adapter makes it easy to connect a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to a single USB port. At $20, Keyspan's USB PS/2 Adapter solves a connectivity problem resulting from the lack of PS/2 ports on most new laptops and desktops. Keyspan points out that the USB PS/2 Adapter may be useful for "Switchers" who want to use their old PC's keyboards and mouse with a new Mac mini (which ships without a keyboard or mouse). On Windows there is no software to install. Users simply plug in the adapter to a USB port on the PC then plug the keyboard and mouse into the color-coded connectors on the adapter. For Macintosh users, a software utility is provided that re-maps the PS/2 keyboard and mouse for optimal use on a Mac.
