Strengths: Relatively cheap, if you don't buy from Office Depot
Weaknesses: Cannot hold Shift/CTRL/Alt keys down
Summary: Bought this adapter from Office Depot for $30 (way too much) and brought it home, expecting to be able to use my PS/2 keyboard on my laptop. Being an Emacs user, I spend a lot of time with my finger on the CTRL key. It became very clear very quickly that there was a problem. If I held CTRL down and pressed a key, about 2 seconds later, the computer acted like I let go of the CTRL key, so all my future keypresses did not use the CTRL modifier so I start modifying my code! Bad adapter! I'm ordering the IOGear one, hopefully it doesn't do the same thing!
By the way, I called Belkin support and they said I should go back to Office Depot and exchange it. Knowing what I know about electronics, this was not a manufacturing defect problem.
