*Some* of those PS/2 to USB plug adaptors will only work with dual
purpose keyboards or mice.  They don't have any signal adaptor circuitry
in them, they just connect pins between the sockets.  You'd need a
special adaptor if you wanted it to be able to connect any keyboard or
mouse to a USB port.

All the ones that I've got are like that.
