A secondary consideration depending on the age of your PS/2 devices is current draw - PS/2 devices were designed to pull the current they needed directly from the motherboard but USB devices are restricted in total current draw by the capacity of the USB hub. If you plug your PS/2 device into a passive USB adaptor and the device is not recognised then it doesn't have a signal converter built in and you'll need to get a connector that does. This led to a bit of a myth that all PS/2 female to USB A Male adaptors would work for all PS/2 devices but passive PS/2 >USB converters will generally only work if there is signal conversion built into the device already. This can be in the converter cable/connector or in the more recent PS/2 devices is actually built into the keyboard/mouse as manufacturers realised that USB was becoming the connection standard and shipped their equipment able to function as PS/2 or with a passive adapter (because the active signal conversion was happening inside the device) USB. To do this you need a signal converter somewhere in the system. This is not least because a USB device needs to be able to identify itself so the computer knows what is attached.

The signals passed by PS/2 and USB have important differences and passive cables/adapters from PS/2 to USB generally have problems.
