Customer Reviews
Not pleased 
2007-11-11
This item cost a lot more than others I've tried, and does not work as well. It will not work with my KVM switch, though it works okay with a directly conneted keyboard and mouse. It certainly did not justify the price premium over the $6.00 BYTECC BT-2000 models I've purchased elsewhere. I have used several of the Bytecc models on our network and they performed flawlessly with KVM, direct connect keyboard and mouse, and with bar code scanners.
No More Mush Board 
2007-11-04
Works with my old IBM PS2 mechanical tactile click keyboard and my new Dell (We stamp our name on everything) Ispiron. The Ispiron came with a cheesy USB keyboard and no way to connect a PS2 device. It's good to have a real keyboard back and toss out that cheap mush board that came with the computer. Anyone know where I can get a real mechanical click keyboard with a USB interface?
Works for Dell Vostro 2007-10-13
I bought this to connect a PS2 mouse and kbd to a new Dell Vostro 1000 Laptop, and was a little worried since there are many reports of USB/PS2 adapters that don't work on Dell. I've had zero problems with this - just plugged it in, connected the devices, and they work!
Must Have 2007-09-13
This ps/2 to USB converter solved my problems when I hooked it up to my laptop. I haven't tested it with a KVM switch yet, but this is a must have when you don't want to use the trackpad or keyboard built into your laptop.
Works great, even through a KVM 2007-05-15
I have been using one of this at my workplace for several months now. I use it to connect a USB only pc through a Linksys KVM switch. It has worked without a hitch. Just this past week, we bought another usb-ps/2 adapter, but the purchasing agent bought the model 27225 from Cables to go and that one does not work through a KVM. So we are going to buy another Trendnet adapter instead.
Works with KVM and Dell 2008-04-29
I use this cable with a new Dell PowerEdge SC440 server and an old Apex Outlook KVM. Works great - no problem at all.
Does not work with PS/2 KVMs 2008-04-28
This converter does not work to connect a Logitech USB wireless mouse on a PS/2 KVM switch. Someone said it did work, but it doesn't. I wish I wouldn't have wasted money on this.
Converter dependable so far... 2008-04-06
So far I have not had any issues with this converter. I have been using it for about 2 months now and am very satisfied. I only have my keyboard hooked to it at this point, but like the option of being able to hook a mouse to it too if I need it in the future. The converter was easy to install and has been reliable. No funny issues with my keyboard responding improperly.
Does not work with Dell 
2008-03-18
I tried this on both a Dell Inspiron notebook as well as a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop. On both computers the mouse would work but the keyboard did not.
I ended up with the Kingwin UPS2C(I could not locate it on Amazon, had to go elsewhere) and it worked fine. That was is only $4.99 and works perfectly even with a KVM.
Does *not* work with Dell Vostro or a KVM switch 2008-03-16
I've tested the TU-PS2 with a Dell Vostro 200 and can confirm that it *doesn't* work, despite of what a previous reviewer found. If you plug the TU-PS2 into a Dell Vostro 200 and connect a PS2 keyboard, every keystroke gets multiplied 5 times, there's clearly something wrong with this converter.
I've also tested the TU-PS2 (independently of the test above) with a KVM switch, an IOGEAR KVM2Kit, in which case it doesn't even work with a plain vanilla HP laptop with Windows XP installed.
Conclusion: The TRENDnet TU-PS2 works with less hardware than a cheap noname $5 USB/PS2 converter you can order from various places. Definitely not worth to pay $15.
