ATEN’s PS/2–USB KVM cable is one of those “small but lifesaving” bits of kit: if your KVM setup is legacy (PS/2) on one end and you’ve got USB-only keyboard/mouse ports to feed from, this is a straightforward way to bridge the gap without bodging adapters. For £13.54 ex-VAT, it’s priced like a proper spare/known-good lead rather than a mystery compatibility gamble—so if you’ve got an office KVM rack and you’re trying to keep users productive, it’s good value.
I’d buy it if you’ve already confirmed you need that exact direction of conversion in your KVM chain (PS/2 to USB) and you want reliability and clean signal over “cheap eBay solves.” I wouldn’t bother if you’re purely USB across the board, or if you’re expecting it to fix broader KVM issues (like wrong KVM model, incorrect port type, or missing drivers)—cables won’t save a mismatch. If you’re maintaining a mixed legacy environment, this is exactly the kind of spare worth having on hand.
