They don't?? I've got a draw full of these, they better damn work![]()
What keyboard and mouse? My MX310 works fine using a USB to PS2 converter.

its a kensington mouse and a benq keyboard, i presume the adapters are transferable
I think these converters are a bit hit and miss to be honest - they don't work with all makes and models.
They only work if the mouse is dual-mode (PS/2 and USB) normally indicated by the fact that they come supplied with the convertor.
They may be manufacturer-specific (need to use the supplied convertor, not any old one lying around.)
And I've not actually seen a USB keyboard that's supposed to work with a USB-PS/2 convertor. Doesn't mean they don't exist, natch, but are you just assuming keyboards are supposed to work with convertors?

My old Microsoft optical mouse worked fine with USB/PS2 adaptor.
Haven't tried others though.
