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.
It need to work in bios too. My USB dongle will flash
my keyboard very couple of minutes and trash what I am
writing.
