    Im curious: Will the USB to PS/2 do anything for something thats not a keyboard or mouse?

      No, and not even all keyboards and mice. It will only work for ones which can do PS/2 signaling over the USB port.

      Probably not, if we’re speaking about the next adapter in the line. They both use 4 pins, and there are no active conversion in the adapter itself, it just connects the pins like this:

      USBPS/2
      +5V+5V
      D-D
      D+CLK
      GNDGND
      

      So, as long as next adapter is not doing something funny with PS/2 signals, it should be ok for bare USB 2.0 connection.
