All the PS/2 to USB converters I bought (even the blue square one quoted in the article as working) were borderline and they would sooner or later lock up and require a reboot (you really shouldn't hot-plug a PS/2 keyboard, as some machines have a fuse soldered on their board).
Ah that's weird: years ago I bought two of these "cube" adapters and used them for years and never had any issue. But then I also switched to Topre switches (HHKB Pro JP keyboard).
Isn't one the selling point of these adapters anyway that it's USB, hence you can hotplug the keyboard should it lock up (which never happened to me but when you use one, it's USB plugged into the mobo, not PS2).
