Here in Michigan they seem a bit pricey, as well. A single PS/2 to USB adapter is a few dollars but the dual PS/2 to USB "Y" adapter is $16.00 (or worse). I had hoped to use one with my PS/2 only KVM but the combo doesn't work. I suspect the issue is with the KVM as I have 2 different "Y" adapters and neither works.
