In my experience, the small PS/2 to USB mouse adapters like that do
not contain a controller chip and only work on USB-compatible PS/2
mice. Those mice typically came with a USB adapter in the first place,
so if yours didn't it could be that you're fighting a losing battle.
I believe that mice supplied with these adaptors have internal
circuitry that will detect and distinguish between whether they're
connected to a PS2 port or a USB one, and behave appropriately.
