As others have said, it does work. I used it on an IBM model M keyboard from 1988.
It did not install a driver when plugging it in, it just worked.
Sometimes when I turn the computer on, it will not be recognized. I have to unplug it and plug it back in, then it works after that.
I'd say this is worth it just for nostalgic purposes only, if you really just want to play around with old keyboards. But if possible, you are better off with a native PS2 input. As others have said, it does work. I used it on an IBM model M keyboard from 1988.

Unlike the cheap connectors, which simply link the pins of a PS/2 connector to the USB pins, this actually has some smart circuitry to properly power a PS/2 connector.
