It is here. I have a cordless PS2 mouse which seem impossible to find

conversion box that allowed a modern and cheap USB cordless to work
with PS2.


There are one or two good converters around. Do you need power to the
mouse, tough?


If so, a KVM would do the job. I have a very good one (well, four!) that
provides excellent conversion - at a price.


I already have a DVI KVM - the RPC has a digital viewfinder card - which
is PS2. The mouse receiver is actually USB, but uses a convertor plug to
PS2, which also powers it. I'm using a nice old and clunky PS2 keyboard
that I like better than the modern soft touch variety. The snag is a
modern USB mouse won't work with that adaptor. Not sure of the reasons.
