The motherboard on my old Intel 4790K would only go into the BIOS with a keypress from a PS/2 keyboard, not from a USB one... That computer is still in service, a friend uses it for general browsing, etc. When I gave it to him, I gave him the 3 purple keyboard adapters I had and an explanation to keep track of them.

I couldn't get one anywhere locally, even at Fry's Electronics at the time before they closed (man that place was a ghost town towards the end). I don't know if the keyboard adapters were the same as the mouse adapters, but I do remember that some would work with some devices and not others.
