USB adapter mouse and wheel
« on: July 28, 2010, 05:49:00 PM »
Hi.

I have one of those USB adapters for a standard optical logitech mouse, working perfectly.



However i can't manage to use the wheel, even with FreeWheel from aminet.

If anyone has the same adaptor, is there any solution?

Newmouse seems useless, as this is not a serial mouse.

Thanks for helping.

Pity it does not work with the wheel because this adapter is perfect for everything else. And it can power flawlessly all the optical mices i tried.

As for the A600, i still have to check (my 2 A600 are not at home, i need to look for them in the stocking room i rent): i will update this thread as soon as i try.

Hi.

I have just tried the USB adapter on my good old A600 and it does not fit the port.

By the way, i have dig out an old Mroocheck that should work with FreeWheel, but for now i prefer USB mouse than PS2.

Since i opened this thread, i have replaced this adapter by another to gain wheel control.

Now, i am looking for an adapter that can work with the RF 2,4GHz dongle from Logitech wireless mouse.

Which adapter worked with the wheel?  I tried this adapter with my Logitech MX1000, but it didn't work.  I didn't try it in the Spider though.

I only want an adapter so I can use my optical mouse in games, so the lack of the wheel through the Amiga joystick port doesn't bother me too much, I just pull the mouse out of the back and put it into the side.

I found a homemade looking ps2 adapter in my junk and it is fine with a ps2 to usb adapter and a cables optical logitech mouse and its wheel.

I won't do that live switching of optical mouse. It could kill the CIA  (optical mice need a lot of power).

P.S. For the record, there are two USB Stacks that I know of.  Poseidon, and ANAIS.  Neither of which would see anything going through this little adapter, which is basically just a PS/2 to 9 pin adapter, with support for USB connections.


Of course they won't. It's not an USB controller, just an adapter.
