I admit both of my PS/2 converters were suspiciously inexpensive, and I've had problems with one of them connected to a Windows PC. I don't particularly like the inter-key spacing or the action of the Genius keyboard, so I'll attempt to invest in a less dodgy PS/2 adapter. Also going to try Erik Quanstrom's fix at http://9fans.net/archive/2014/02/202. (I'm in the process of mounting cheap 720p TVs with Pis and USB hubs stuck to the back above every work surface in the house, as terminals for a couple of Supermicro X7SPA-H based cpu servers. I expect the one in the kitchen to require a series of replacement keyboards.)
