I bought a Logitech LX500 cordless keyboard and mouse combo.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6823126157

The range is a little short of what I want, so I want to run a single USB cable from my PC to another room, where I will have the wireless reciever. The problem is, the reciever has 2 cables comming from it....a PS2 connection for the mouse and USB for the keyboard.

I want to buy a PS2 to USB adapter and use that to plug the mouse end of the reciever into a USB hub. The USB keyboard part of the reciever will also be pluged into the USB hub. Then connect the hub to my PC in another room with a single USB cable. Will this work?

Or in other words, since the mouse portion of the reciever is PS2 only, is it compatible with USB through a PS2 to USB adapter?
