Hello,
Are all PS/2 to USB splitter adapters bad for old PS/2 keyboards? I have
two different brands PS/2 to USB splitter adapters for my old PS/2
keyboards & mouses for two different old home built PCs (updated Windows
10 Pro. and Linux/Debian trixie stable [even in its text mode]). I
didn't want to buy new mouses and keyboards since I have many old ones
to use. I'm a fast typist on clicky keyboards, but I noticed results are
not fast and good. When I hold a letter/number down and then press a
Shift or Caps Lock key to show its opposite, the repeating results just
stop showing (nothing show anymore). This is annoying when gaming like
when I use W to move forward and want to use shift key. When I type
fast, I get incorrect, missing, or duplicate characters.
It's very annoying! PS/2 mouses are fine though! Are splitters not good
and I have to get USB PC104 keyboards? :( Thank you for reading and
hopefully answering soon. :)
