   My grandson gave me a USB mouse for Christmas many years ago.  One of the   
   buttons is now becoming very troublesome.   
      
   It is a USB mouse.  I have a KVM that uses VGA/PS2 connectors.  And the mouse   
   had been connected through the KVM using a PS2 adapter.   
      
   It has worked fine.   
      
   I went out to purchase a new mouse.  Except for off brands, it would seem that   
   corded mice are not terribly common anymore.  But a few are still available.   
      
   I purchased a Logitech M500 model mouse.  I find after plugging it in and   
   rebooting the system, it will not recognize the mouse through the KVM with the   
   PS2 adapter.  But eCs v2 will recognize the mouse directly through the USB   
   port.   
      
   I have heard through googling, that USB mice tend to take a few seconds to be   
   recognized by OSs wherease the older PS2 connections did not have this delay.   
      
   I guess I have two basic options.   
      
   First, find a good mouse that will work through the PS2 adapter with OS2.    
   Anyone who has one, please share the make and model with me.  Perhaps I can   
   still find a local vendor who carries the mouse.   
      
   Or I might swap out the KVM for a DVI/USB set of interfaces. And then my task   
   would be to find a KVM that did not exhibit this USB mouse delay problem for a   
   reasonable price.  If one for a reasonable price can't be found, I guess I'll   
   have to live with the mouse recognized delay.   
      
   I really do not want to spend weeks and lots of money trying to find the right   
   combination.  I am hoping those with direct and current experience might give   
   me some recomendations and/or leads to help me find something that works.   
      
   Your help would be greatly appreciated.   
      
   Thanks,   
   Mark Vollmer
