No. An adapter with the right connections on each end doth not interoperability make.

This works with HID devices (ie. keyboards and mice) because they can generally talk both USB and PS/2 and detect what sort of port they're plugged into.

Plugging any other USB device into a similar adapter and attaching this to your PC won't work, and may result in less desirable results...
