The multimedia keyboard is designed to work with ps/2 only.
It will not know how to interrept the USB signals that are being force-fed
into it via the adapter.

A device must be designed to work with different ports for such port
adaptors to work. You can't cobble together adapters with the hopes that it
will work just because it will fit into the socket.
