When normal keyboards with both PS2 and USB support are supplied with 5V power they will "check" if it receives a clocksignal from the PS2 port, and if it does not it will fallback and act as an HID device (USB). This actually makes sense when thinking about that the firmware can be flashed on this keyboard - the keyboard actually has an "operating system" running inside that performs a "power on self test" to see if it's connected to a USB port, or else the keyboard will not boot (yes, a keyboard that won't boot? wtf right.). So I got to the conclusion that this keyboard is not a stupid passive keyboard that will work if supplied with 5v power. That didn't work either - actually the keyboard does not even light up, even though I confirmed with a volt-meter that it actually is supplied with 5 volts of power from the same USB source that it works on without the adapter. At first I thought the problem was the keyboard requiring to much power from the PS2 port (5V/0,7A), so I went on to make a USB->PS2 adapter which had 5V power disconnected from the PS2, and supplied 5V from external USB cable.

Well now I own the keyboard and I'm disappointed to confirm that it does not work with USB->PS2 adapter, which works fine full nkro with my Zowie Celeritas II keyboard. So before I went to buy it I sent Asus a presales question if the NKRO feature of the Asus Claymore would work with a UBS->PS2 adapter if I didn't care about all the bells and whistles and synergies with other ROG products, but just wanted plain keyboard functionality with NKRO - the answer was YES. Asus Claymore was the obvious choice compared to Tesoro's offerings and the end-of-life Microsoft Sidewinder X6. Macro Record - Easily record macros while in game with the dedicated button.So I recently decided to get a new keyboard as I wanted something more compact for gaming sessions (TKL), but preferably with a detachable numpad as I actually do use the numpad a lot.
