what is the difference between a passive converter and an active converter?
THIS passive converter operates on the limited power provided by the usb port.
AN active converter provides additional power through an external ac power supply for keyboards or mice which may require more power,
more current, more juice, is sometimes required on older legacy devices,
like the older IBM clicky keyboards or legacy keyboards with lots of lights.
