| 570021 | 2007-07-18 12:32:00 | My Asus P5K doesn't have a PS/2 port for a mouse. So I need to use my old USB mouse, which is not functioning properly at times. I'd like to keep using my PS/2 mouse, so does anybody have any spare lying around? Thanks |

| 570027 | 2007-07-18 21:04:00 | I have never seen a ps/2 to usb adapter, USB to ps/2 yes! Yeah, same here. I don't think you can get a straight PS/2 to USB adaptor, maybe in some other form, but the mouse actually has to be designed to work with one, and often older ones won't. It would be easier to get one (www.trademe.co.nz) off TM |

I just ordered one fior a build, customer did not order a mouse has he has one - PS2. Mental! Everyone seems to get upset about the lack of legacy ports in the new motherboards, My work has about 7000 dell pcs and not one has Ps/2 ports, get used to it. |

| 570029 | 2007-07-18 22:59:00 | The biggest problem isnt so much mice, but keyboards. All new mice are USB, even the cheapest ones. I have yet to see a K/B under $35-$40 that comes with USB. |
