## Description

This is a nice solution to wanting to use PS/2 devices (such as Adafruit's [capacitive touch pad](https://core-electronics.com.au/capacitive-trackpad-touchpad-microcontroller-friendly-ps-2.html) or [magstripe readers](https://core-electronics.com.au/magstripe-reader-ps-2-interface-3-tracks-1-2-3.html)). It's also handy if you want to connect a keyboard and mouse to a Raspberry Pi or Beagle Bone without taking up two USB ports. Inside is a full translation chip - a small USB microcontroller that will translate the PS/2 into "USB Keyboard" and "USB Mouse"
 
 Adafruit tested this with a Pi, Bone, Linux, Windows and Mac desktop computer and they all worked flawlessly.
