Subj : Keyboard Adapter

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this and can answer a
question. I'm using an old PS2 keyboard adapted to USB using one of those Y
connectors that support a mouse and keyboard to one USB Port. For the most
part it works fine but for intense usage like games, there is a delay or it
won't pass on repeats of a key (even an arrow key) held down, which can be a
real 'killer' in games.

I'm wondering if this dual cable is the problem due to added circuitry and a
dedicated single adapter would work better or if I can expect the same thing.

I know the keyboard works fine using PS2 on another computer and a USB
keyboard works fine on the same port so I'm trying to decide if I should try
to find a single adapter or try rewiring the keyboard directly to USB..

Obviously I prefer this old keyboard which started out life as a full sized
DIN connector which I later rewired to a PS2 cable but I'd prefer to not
modify it to USB, limiting its usage, especially if that's not going to help.
