## Summary description

StarTech replacement adapter converts a USB A keyboard connection to a PS/2 male port for legacy systems. Connectors: PS/2 (male) and USB A (female). Compact, lightweight (0.013 kg) violet adapter suitable for using modern USB keyboards with older PS/2-compatible desktops, workstations or POS terminals.

## Long description

The StarTech USB A (female) to PS/2 (male) adapter (model GC46FMKEY) converts a USB-A keyboard connection to a 6-pin PS/2 male plug, enabling the use of modern USB keyboards with legacy PS/2-compatible desktops, workstations or POS terminals. The compact, lightweight violet adapter is intended as a replacement for keyboards that originally shipped with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and provides a simple, mechanical conversion without additional cables.
Advantages
This adapter supports straightforward plug-and-play connection from a USB-A keyboard to a PS/2 port and is small enough to remain attached while saving desk space. The simple, passive design requires no drivers or external power, and its durable connectors are suitable for repeated insertions. The adapter is backed by StarTech.com's lifetime warranty, providing long-term reliability for legacy system integration.
Suitable for
 Connecting a USB keyboard to a computer or terminal with only a PS/2 keyboard port
 Replacing a lost or damaged USB-to-PS/2 adapter that originally accompanied a keyboard
 Integrating modern keyboards into POS systems, industrial workstations or older desktops
Key specifications
 Connector A: USB A female (accepts standard USB keyboard plug)
 Connector B: 6-pin PS/2 male (DIN) for keyboard ports
 Colour: Violet
 Weight: 0.013 kg (lightweight, portable)
 Design: Passive adapter — no drivers or external power required
How to use
Insert the USB-A plug of the keyboard into the adapter's USB-A female receptacle, then insert the PS/2 male connector into the computer's PS/2 keyboard port. Ensure the connector is aligned and seated firmly. After connection, power on the computer if it was off; most systems will recognize the keyboard through the PS/2 interface without additional software if the keyboard originally supported PS/2 operation via an adapter.
Usage recommendations
Use this adapter only with keyboards that originally shipped with or were specified to work with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter. If a keyboard did not include such an adapter, functionality is not guaranteed; in that case consider a dedicated USB-to-PS/2 converter model designed to provide active conversion. Avoid forcing the connector; inspect ports for debris and keep the adapter dry and within normal indoor operating conditions.
