Is there a specific, recommended PS/2 Connector that will work with a Haswell, rMBP?

a ps/2 (female) to usb (male) connector is what I used and it works fine on my older pc, (core 2 duo) (windows 7) which has both USB and USB 2 interfacesI don't know about USB 3 slots, but your computer probably has a combination of them, so it should work. I can't vouch for windows 8, if that's what you are running, since I haven't tried the keyboard on a windows 8 machine. It's a killer keyboard.

PS/2 keyboards have a standard wiring configuration. If the device uses a PS/2 interface it is setup to accept any keyboard with a PS/2 connector.

Any "PC" type USB keyboard with a standard USB connector (not the mini USB connectors unless you have an adapter) will work fine. The older PS2 type PC keyboards with the round connector will not work without a USB adapter. Any PC type USB mouse or trackpad will also work fine. USB keyboard/mouse/trackpad combinations will work fine.

no you can't PS2 is for mouse or keyboard, monitor connection is totally is different.

Take a look at the back of the computer, there should be an PS/2 input for old mouse/keyboard, which would accept the reciever for this otherwise cordless combo.

I use this adapter to connect a PS/2 mouse to a laptop via USB connection. I've tested it on a PS/2 keyboard and it works for that too. I have had no problems with this adapter.

Probably, but....The MB is the component you need to be compatible with the PS. If the MB is compatible, then the processor is compatible. Check your MB

this adaptor converts from usb to RS232 serial. If that is what you are trying to do it will work well. It is not for VGA as that is a video format.

I'm using it with a LS2208 that had a PS2 keyboard wedge before. I'm pretty sure it works with the LS4006 as well. In my experience the connector on the unit itself is RJ-45 and all the different connection cables (RS-232, PS2, USB) are interchangeable. I'd give it a try ;-)

You can hook up a regular or HDMI monitor, and it has provision for USB & PS2 keyboards and mice. So you should be fine.

The one I got was clearly defective and was not recognized by any computer. It is USB3.0 so it should work with any USB 3.0 connection but it is also USB 2.0 compliant as most are. So if it was not defective it would work with rMBP 2013. I would still purchase a different brand though, one with a higher read/write speed. There is significant variation in this area with the different brands.

Yes I use the e1659 all the time with an old Sony VAIO that has only USB 2.0 ports and it works great. No problem with response or power.

Eric and John are correct. Fits, does great for anything that doesn't require lots of high-speed transfer, like hard drives, such as mice and keyboard.

Yes this will work for you without any issues, just like your PS2 port. Just plug and play. Only draw back I've had with these, is that I had to tape the mouse connection to the adaptor. No big deal though.

No the adapter only works with PS/2 mouse but not keyboard. Don't buy it for the keyboard.

Please refer to this link...http://www.seasonic.com/new/twevent20130510.htm The Platinum series is top quality and supports Haswell.

Yes, that is really what this device is for. If your PS/2 port is broken or absent. Only USB port required. (PnP OS, like Win7, worked great without any help, drivers installed automatically)

A new retail motherboard and new retail case should have all the cables you need to make supported connections. MB header pins and wiring are pretty standardized, assuming you have e.g., an ATX MB and matching ATX case. The Cooler HAF 912 front panel USB is for USB 2.0. Pwr on/off is always the same 2 wire black and red and since only a simple switch, doesn't matter which way you plug it in.
