Something like this ? (http://www.amigasuperbit.com/indexcataloge/502.htm)

Guess Eyetech or another UK reseller carries something similar. I saw Eytech list something like EZmouse, not sure if that's an PS2 adapter tho..

Get a Punchinello Mk3. I`ve got on linking my Logitech opitical mouse to my A12020. Work great with scrolly and everything. Don`t go near other version. My Mk2 was rubbish except for normal 3 button use. Though its best with logitech mice apparently. I tried a Genius and it didn`t work.

Don't have a link to the Punchinello, but perhaps this one (http://www.eyetech.co.uk/addbar.php?Address=/PRODUCT/PAMIP/EZMOU002.HTM) is ok..

you can also get straight Amiga mouse port to ps2 adaptors for very little, dont support wheelmouse or anything though. I have one and got it from eyetech and err WoAse2002 iirc. I've never used it but im keeping it for when my Wizard finally passes on, heven forbid the day it does. 4 years and still going strong, truely the best mouse ever.

Has anyone tried  Ultimate Amiga PS/2 Wheel Mouse Controller (http://rdc.gfns.net/ps2m/index.html)? It is rumoured to be very good.

Check out www.elbox.com

There is this Mroocheck interface.

And with a mouse:
http://buy.elbox.com/cgibin/shop?info=521MR4D&sid=00897ccc

The second url has just a 4D mouse in the package as an option though :)
Btw, they don't might be very cheap, but shipping is free for a short period.
Mroocheck is known in other countries as punchinello also. :)

Amigas have been able to use Optical mice since the A1000 days. I've got one from Golden Image.

Yes, you can. There are several drivers on Aminet for you to try out.
