I too would much rather have a working PCIe card, though I have found USB-to-PS/2
dongles generally more reliable. I haven't bought one in over a decade, so can't
recommend against any in particular that don't work. This card is functionally
worthless too:

It only works a keyboard after an OS driver loads, so can't be used to get into
BIOS, BBS menu or Grub menu.
