How about this though?

Wouldn't this work for 2 ps/2 keyboards? I don't think I'd want to use them both simultaneously but who does on an arcade cabinet, you use either the controls or the keyboard...

Has anyone actually tested the adapter mentioned above. Basically, does it work and do the LED indicators on both keyboards function correctly??? I am interested in one, but they want $7 shipping on top of the $7 price, which is a lot to throw away if it doesn't work.

This one is slightly different. I tried the mouse/keyboard one, and it won't work on a desktop. This one is for two keyboards.

However, all the other dual keyboard adapters I have seen need some kind of microcontroller and I don't think this has one. I suspect the LED's may not function correctly with this one, but if someone has used it and can verify that it works fine, I would be very interested in it.
