PS/2 Mouse

[JFK]

Does anyone know if it is possible to use this type of mouse with a ps/2-serial adapter. I have tried a few programs from aminet but havent had much luck yet. :-?

I have seen a special PC Ps/2 to Amiga Serial mouse adaptor on E-bay, I do not know if it actually works but here it is. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2068468137

@ JFK,

Yes.  At whatever Amiga dealer you prefer, look for the "Mr. Mysza" mouse adapter and the software that goes along with it.  It's a relatively new product that allows Amigas to use any PS2 mouse or trackball.

just a normal ps2->serial converter works fine if you can get the right software from Aminet.

I can't recommend Mr. Mysza enough.  Probably one of the best (and cheapest) purchases I've made for my A1200T.  Allows me to use a Logitech optical mouse in the standard Amiga mouse port so that it's completely usable with "Early Bootmenu" and old hardware banging games that bypass the OS.

Also I should note that my mouse is a USB mouse with a PS/2 adapter on it. :-)

How much do you think the "Mr. Mysza" would be in a store? This one on E-bay is starting at 30.00$ US... is that reasonable for an adaptor?? Seems like alot to me! :-o $$$$$

@ A1000JH,

Look around at dealers.  A quick check of the Software Hut site reveals that they sell it for $39.95.

 and it wks flawlesly. Agreed,I cannot recomend it enough either, very smooth, you'll love it. :-P

I'll just continue to use an actual Amiga mouse.. I'm not too fond of the mice they sell in stores now.. I think alot of them are ugly. I don't even like my WinPC's mouse! :-)

Regarding mice...has anyone ever seen a mouse which doesnt give you instant RSI? The problem I have is that all those mice are just too tiny :-/. I always end up with the centre of the mouse under my fingers and not in the palm of my hand.

The closest I ever saw to a nice fitting mouse was an old Logitech wireless (radio) mouse. The thing was huge.
