Works well, lower price then at the major office supply stores. Good to have now that compaines are moving toward 100% USB and away from PS/2.

Didn't work for me........2007-09-14

I tried to use this on my laptop with a ps/2 keyboard. It worked for about 50 char and would just stop working. I tried to unplug it and replug it.. again.. about 50 or so char. I gave up and bought a usb keyboard.. that works great.

works well.......2007-05-07

Anybody that has an older keyboard or mouse that used PS-2 connectors will need this as computers start only having USB ports. It works great with no configuration needed.

Only One Problem.......2007-02-24

I use this every day to connect my PS/2 keyboard and mouse to my laptop's USB. The only problem is that the first key that I hit after booting up always comes out as gobbledeegook. However, once the cache or whatever is cleared it works great the rest of the day.

Product Description

The GUC10KM PS/2 to USB Keyboard and Mouse interface converter provides the means for PS/2 type keyboards and mice to connect to a PC, notebook, laptop, or handheld computing device that supports the USB specification via the USB bus instead of using conventional bus technology.An advantage of this for notebooks, for example, is that now an external mouse and keyboard can be connected at the same time without causing conflicts. The GUC10KM comes with two standard 6 pin mini DIN female connectors for the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to plug into and has an attached 16in. USB cable with a type A plug for connection to the PC's USB port, or to a USB hub. For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks, laptops, and handhelds - the GUC10KM adapter derives its operating power from the Universal Serial Bus itself, so no bulky external power supply needs to be taken along. And because it is a USB Specification compliant device, the GUC10KM supports energy-saving suspend and resume operations.

You need to connect the splitter to the PC and let Win detect and install it before connecting the kb & mouse to it. PC also booted with no error when kb connected to splitter (without changing the 'kb not present' signaling in BIOS)! Didn't try on Linux...

Does work on Mac OS X 10.4.9 iBook.......2007-05-06

Very good product. I purchased this adapter to connect a PS/2 connector barcode scanner to my PowerPC iBook running Mac OS X 10.4.9. When I first connected the adapter to the USB port on the iBook (after connecting the barcode scanner to the adapter), OS X discovered the keyboard connection and prompted me to go through a wizard for the computer to determine the keyboard type. If you do this, make sure to connect the keyboard to the adapter BEFORE plugging the adapter into the computer, so that it can make the appropriate device determinations. In order for the wizard to determine the "keyboard" type (ANSI), it prompted to hit the key to the right of the left shift key, and the key to the left of the right shift key (Z and / for my iBook). To do this with the barcode scanner, I printed custom barcodes for the characters with a barcode font and scanned them. The scanner now works well just as if it were connected to a PS/2 port on a PC. I would definately reccomend this product. Although I haven't tested it on a PC yet, I would assume it works since the box description indicates it would, and it works with a Mac.

Works great on our laptop.......2006-08-25

We have a brand new Sony Vaio running XP and this works great--haven't noticed any lag time in the mouse function (as was mentioned in a prior review) and it is very handy. A very decent product--I would recommend it.

Works fine on Mac and PC.......2006-04-23

This is a very useful device. It's highly compatible, and it works fine on both my Macintosh laptop (MacBook Pro) and my desktop PC running Windows XP. It does what it says it will do. The only minor complaint I have is that the mouse movement is not quite as smooth when using this device (both Mac OS X and Windows XP).

Other than that, it's great!

Doesn't work with a Mac.......2005-11-10

I tried using this to connect my PS/2 keyboard and mouse to my iBook. No luck. The mac thought that I had keys held down when I didn't, which made the setup totally unusable. On the package, but not in this online description, it mentions that a Windows machine is required.

Simple, basic, does the job it was meant for.......2004-03-18

Assuming you've got an available USB port on your PC, and are running a USB-compatible version of Windows (Win98SE or higher, or Windows 2000/XP), this product does exactly what you'd expect it to. Simple to use - just plug your PS/2-style mouse and/or keyboard into the unit, then plug the unit into an available USB jack on your PC, and Windows will autodetect the devices.

This is an excellent device to use if you want to attach two PS/2 style keyboard/mouse combos to the same PC - for example, if you've got both an adult and a child-size keyboard you want to run on the same PC, and both keyboards have PS/2 jacks.

Device also works great if you want to attach a PS/2 style keyboard or mouse to a laptop which has only USB ports.

good player.......2004-09-20

i purchased this player of ebay for 30 dollars it has a lot of cool features for the price but the downside is it does not have the best battery life only about 8 hours the pair of earbuds are great better than ones i bought for 15 dollars but it is not very durable i put it in the cd player compartment in my back back and when i tryed to play a cd it said OPEN but i fixed it this palyer is good if you just want to listen at home or in a car and stuff like that. The volume is very loud unlike some of these people have said.

Volume SUCKS.......2004-02-23

Its like having a Porsche that can only go 45. Allot of great features in this product as long as don't need to hear the music.. the main thing is that the VOLUME [is horrible]... so low that you can't hear the music if you are in the gym or anywhere there is outside noise... I mean .. this thing is bulky to begin with so I figured it would at least have a good sound boost to it .... WRONG !!!! Low volume....unless you are in a very quiet library i would stay away from this....

Solid performer.......2004-02-10

I won't go into the specifics; you can read those elsewhere. Instead I'll give you the pros and cons as I see them.

PROS:
- This puppy will read multisession CD's. This means I can burn 10 MP3's on one CD, then go back later and burn 10 more, and so on. This is a BIG plus for me. I don't have to burn a full CD everytime I want to add a couple of songs!
- Built-in battery charger. I dropped a couple of NiMH batteries in it and I don't plan on ever having to buy batteries for this device again. There is some weirdness to recharging, though - read on.
- Backlit display.
- Easy navigation though MP3 tracks. You can search by album, song or artist, and navigating through multiple folders is easy enough.
- ESP (Electronic Skip Protection) that will prevent skipping during all but the most violent of shocks. 120 seconds for regular CD's, 45 seconds for MP3 CD's.
- Battery life - I get about 10 hours from a set of AA's (with ESP turned off). I think this is more than satisfactory. Expect 7 hours if you always use the ESP feature (it's not necessary to have it on at all times, I would only use it if I'm walking or jogging).
- Wired remote - pretty handy. The remote also acts as an FM radio, which works very well and has excellent reception.
- Price - VERY reasonable for all the features this unit has. By the way, if I didn't mention the feature here, that means it performs as advertised.

CONS:
- No resume function. This stinks if you want to listen to audio books. If you shut off the player, it will remember what track you were on, but it will NOT pick up from the point you left off - it goes to the beginning.
- Charging oddity - if you want to use rechargeable batteries, the manual suggests you charge them while the player is on and playing a CD. That seems weird to me, and it might cause unnessessary wear and tear on the mechanism. I should be able to just plug it in overnight while it's off and it should charge. The manual says you can charge while the player is off, but it will take "a very long time." How long is that?
- Turning the ESP feature on and off is not accomplished as it states in the manual. I had to figure it out on my own.
- SLOW scrolling speed on the display. ID3 information is displayed, but it has to scroll across the LCD, and it takes forever.
- Less than speedy seek times. Not bad, but not great either. It takes about 6 seconds for the player to find a song when you navigate the CD. If you let the CD play through, though, it's fine.
- Portability - you'll want a fanny pack or a backpack to carry the main unit around in, if you plan on travelling with this unit, since it has no belt clip. The remote unit is supposed to have a belt clip, but:
- Mine didn't come with a belt clip for the remote. Not sure if it's an oversight or what.
- This isn't really a con, but I will mention it here; if you like your music LOUD, the iRock Bling might not have enough oomph for you. I find it to be plenty loud with a decent set of headphones, but I know some people need to have ear-shattering levels, which this unit doesn't provide. I think most of you would be satisfied with it, however. I guessing it's on par with other portable units of this type.

In conclusion, this is a nice little player that works very well and does what it's supposed to do. Its price and multiple features more than make up for any shortcomings. I can heartily recommend this player to anyone except hardcore audio book fans, who will want to remember that this unit cannot resume.
