Just out of curiosity, did the manufacturer of these converters clearly
state that they would work with mice only? Or is it the machines themselves

don't know, our experience is entirely empirical in nature...I tried to use it to hook up a PS /2 keyboard to a mac and a PC and it didn't work on either. These adapters are mentioned as for the mice...I don't know who made 'em, they were in the Gateway box with the mouse and stuff.
That said there are adapters that say they work with keyboards, so I'd expect that they do work.
I know that PS/2 keyboards and mice aren't necessarily interchangeable...I don't know the pinouts offhand so I'm not sure.
