I bought one, used it once to test it out on a working computer and seemed to work fine to me.

what keyboard are you using ?

A typical generic (well, "Fellowes") PS/2 style keyboard. I dunno - maybe there's something really odd going on because I've got nothing plugged in to the other PS/2 style mouse port? I can't test out this unlikely theory right now, cos I've packed the mobo away. But next time I dig it out for another test, I'll try plugging a mouse in. (I didn't test this idea out first time around, cos I don't have any PS/2 style mice - I need to buy a cheap one just for testing purposes.)

I bought one of those ones once.

Since I'm smart enough not to put something from Hong Kong I don't know into my valuable system I tested it in another system first.

It started to smell and got very hot. The system escaped undamaged.

The seller said "maybe yours is broken". Yes, he actually said that.

Apparently there are many counterfeits in circulation judging from the manual and card I got. It had all kinds of stickers and warnings reassuring me this one was the real thing.

Anyway buy a good one and good luck! Don't forget those protective goggles!

This one looks like it might work - 😉
