Hey guys, quick question here.

So, I'm wondering, I know that using a ps/2 keyboard, you are able to power on the computer via keyboard button. My question is, if I were to get a usb-ps/2 adapter, would I be able to use my keyboard to power on my PC?if so, would it impact any relevant performance to typing/gaming? Thanks in advance!

I meant vice versa. So, if using a usb keyboard, I were to attach an adapter to connect it to my PC via ps/2, would it work?
