See also my Contest University presentation, "Everything You Need to Know About USB and Serial Interfaces" (https://bit.ly/USBserial) for photos of these adpaters plus tips on managing all those virtual serial ports. There's a link to this and other presentations on my QRZ.COM page ( https://www.qrz.com/db/n6tv).
A genuine FTDI USB-to-Serial adapter is built into the S-BOX-USB (or two of them in S-BOX-USB-2). The S-BOX-USB models can be used to drive a K3, KX2 or KX3 using standard cables, no soldering needed. You can even get the equivalent of the K3S menu setting "CONFIG:RTS-DTR PTT-KEY" for a KX2 or KX3. That is, you get rig control plus computer-generated PTT and CW keying over a single USB cable when using an S-BOX-USB to connect the PC to the transceiver. Finally, many folks have used the standard S-BOX (no USB) with a K3S + P3 + CBLP3Y to split the serial data in the Elecraft Y-cable to a SteppIR antenna controller or similar.
