Frequently Asked Questions
When would I need to convert USB keyboards and mice to PS/2?
If you have legacy systems with only PS/2 ports and modern USB peripherals, this adapter allows you to use newer keyboards and mice on older computers during equipment refresh cycles.
Why is this converter Windows-only?
The UC20KMZ is optimized for Windows keyboard and mouse drivers. Linux and macOS may not recognize PS/2-to-USB conversions in the reverse direction reliably.
Can I connect both a USB keyboard and mouse to this single 20 cm converter?
The converter accepts one USB device at a time. For multiple peripherals, you would need either a USB hub feeding the converter, or separate converters for different devices.
How is this different from a USB-to-PS/2 adapter you might find in a PC store?
This Aten model is engineered for reliable signal conversion and includes proper shielding. Generic adapters may cause compatibility issues or inconsistent performance on older systems.
What happens if the USB keyboard is unplugged while in use?
The system will lose keyboard input until the device is reconnected or restarted. Avoid hot-swapping with legacy PS/2 systems.
Does this work with wireless USB keyboard receivers?
Most wireless USB receivers appear as standard USB input devices, so this converter should work. However, test your specific wireless keyboard model first, or contact Procure.ae.
Does Procure.ae deliver this product to all UAE and GCC countries?
Yes, Procure.ae supplies this product across the UAE and wider GCC region. Specific delivery timelines, costs, and logistics depend on your location and requirements. Contact the Procure.ae team for a delivery quote.
What is the lead time for delivery and is installation included?
Lead times vary based on stock availability and your location within the GCC. Installation or setup support is available upon request. Contact Procure.ae to discuss your timeline and setup requirements.
What is included in the UC20KMZ package?
The package includes the 20-centimetre USB-to-PS/2 converter cable. For details on driver installation, supported Windows versions, and connector specifications, contact Procure.ae.
Does the UC20KMZ have a warranty?
Yes, Aten provides warranty coverage. For specific warranty terms, duration, and claim procedures, contact Procure.ae.
Why is the UC20KMZ Windows-only instead of cross-platform?
Windows has mature PS/2 device drivers that support reverse conversion (USB-to-PS/2). macOS and Linux lack reliable support for this direction of conversion, limiting this adapter to Windows systems.
