I use it as USB though. I did have some trouble with the scroll not working. This was also the case on a friend's pc with 10.0. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Well, the scroll didn't work on 10.0 twice and worked once. On 10.1 it worked. So... Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It should function like a standard PS2 3-button mouse w/ scroll wheel. Thanks! Dumb question time... 1: By USB to PS2 adapter, do you mean one of the adapters that come with some mice to let you plug a USB/PS2 mouse in a PS2 poet, or an adapterer that gives you a PS2 port on a USB connection? 2: If you are plugging into a PS2 port, did the adpater come with the mouse, or is it from a different mouse? 3: Has the mouse ever worked with this setup? The reasion I ask is that the adapters that let you plug a USB mouse into a PS2 port only work with mice designed to be used that way. From what I understand, they just connect the PS2 power and data connections to the power and data lines on the USB connector, and don't do anything else. So if your mouse doesn't know how to talk to a PS2 port, and send information like a PS2 mouse instead of a USB mouse, it will not work.

Sorry for my ambiguity. 1: By USB to PS2 adapter, do you mean one of the adapters that come with some mice to let you plug a USB/PS2 mouse in a PS2 poet, or an adapterer that gives you a PS2 port on a USB connection? The mouse interface is USB. Adapter is so I can plug it into a PS2 port. 2: If you are plugging into a PS2 port, did the adpater come with the mouse, or is it from a different mouse? It's an adapter that came with the Microsoft mouse. In fact, all USB mice that I've purchased from MS come with this teal colored USB--PS2 adapter. 3: Has the mouse ever worked with this setup? The reasion I ask is that the adapters that let you plug a USB mouse into a PS2 port only work with mice designed to be used that way. From what I understand, they just connect the PS2 power and data connections to the power and data lines on the USB connector, and don't do anything else. So if your mouse doesn't know how to talk to a PS2 port, and send information like a PS2 mouse instead of a USB mouse, it will not work. Come to think of it, this is the basic MS Wireless Optical Mouse. I've used the adapter on other models. I use others on a KVM that only has PS2 and it works with no issues. You make a good point. I shouldn't assume this mouse works in a similar manner. -- Regards, Matt Florido Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I use a iOne Lynk mark 7 plugged into a KVM switch and it seems to work for me one thing you have to click it to wake it up otherwise press the button on the USB reciever and within 5 seconds press the button on the bottom of the mouse HTH Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
