I can't tell you how long I've been looking for this kind of adapter, with this kind of form factor. There are others out there, but they are combersome and expensive.

Just thought I'd share this find.

Are they necessarily compatible? Do they emulate PS2 ports?

Here is another thread with some helpful info. about these things.  The one I posted was $20 from the Shack and I didn't pick it up after learning from the experts that it probably wouldn't serve my fighting needs.

Is this really all that cheap? USB keyboards and mice aren't particularly expensive...

??? [confused] Is this "new" because it does something special for Macs?
