The second adapter should be a passive one You can either make one yourself ( working schematic on the last picture) or buy one like the picture below online. If you have one lying around, you can always try it - your PC will be fine even if the keyboard won't work with this one.
The first one should be a USB to PS/2 (miniDIN) adapter This one needs to be an active adapter, such as this one:Īvoid using weird smaller adapters like the one below - they probably won't work because they're designed for motherboards that have a PS/2 host, which allows them to be passive (motherboard will be in charge of changing D+ and D- from the USB port to Clock and Data signal from PS/2). The easiest (PnP) approach is definely using two adapters.
