Product Information

Full details

The Loops USB to 2x PS/2 Dual Keyboard & Mouse Adapter is designed for legacy hardware enthusiasts and professional users who need to connect vintage PS/2 input devices to modern computers lacking dedicated PS/2 ports. This adapter offers a seamless plug-and-play solution that preserves the reliability of classic keyboards and mice, though it is important to note that it requires a system capable of handling USB-based HID signals for legacy peripherals.

FAQs

Does this adapter support BIOS settings?

While it works in most OS environments, BIOS compatibility depends on your motherboard's USB-to-HID emulation settings.

Can I use this on a laptop?

Yes, as long as your laptop has an available USB port, you can use this to add a desktop-style keyboard and mouse.

Do I need to install any drivers?

No, this is a driverless, plug-and-play device that utilizes standard HID protocols.

Is it compatible with Windows 10/11?

Yes, it is fully compatible with modern Windows versions, as well as most Linux distributions.

Can I use it with a KVM switch?

If your KVM switch has legacy PS/2 inputs, this is not needed. If you are using a USB-only KVM, this adapter may help connect legacy inputs to the switch.

Troubleshooting

Computer does not detect keyboard or mouse

Unplug the adapter, restart the computer, and plug the adapter into a different USB port before reconnecting the PS/2 devices.

Only one device is working

Ensure the keyboard is in the purple port and the mouse is in the green port, as color-coding is required for proper signal routing.

Input latency or lag

Connect the adapter directly to a rear USB port on the motherboard rather than a USB hub or front-panel header.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple plug-and-play installation without driver headaches
  • Compact dual-port design saves USB real estate
  • Durable PVC jacket provides excellent longevity
  • Reliable signal transmission via nickel-plated connectors
  • No external power source required

Cons

  • Not compatible with all BIOS-level legacy keyboard commands
  • Requires USB port availability on the host machine
  • Some highly specialized or programmable legacy mice may lose advanced custom button functionality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: insert the USB end into any open USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your computer. Once the operating system registers the device, plug your PS/2 mouse into the green port and the keyboard into the purple port.

Compatibility Notes:

  • Works with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems that support standard USB HID input.
  • Not recommended for PS/2 barcode scanners or specialized industrial input hardware.

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid sharp bends near the strain relief areas.
  • If the device stops responding, unplug it and reconnect to refresh the USB handshake.
  • Keep the pins in the PS/2 ports clear of debris; do not force connectors if resistance is felt.
