USB mouse for MiniMig
« on: September 12, 2010, 10:01:33 PM »
Hello

I tested 3 USB mice with my MiniMig, but non of them were working. They were all different brands/models optical advanced devices.

I read that some people successfully connected USB mice to MiniMig, so what can be the problem?

I recently found great oldchool mouse at very good price: http://allegro.pl/show_item.php?item=1205445768 - the only problem is that it is USB, so if it will not work, there is no point to buy it. But design is so tempting...

Any advice? :)

Thank you in advance

No answers here, but the price was low and it was tempting so I desided to buy... unfortunately those mice do not work on MiniMig :(

This topic has been discussed a few times.

The Minimig doesn't support USB mice. Some USB mice use dual mode (USB/PS/2) controller chips and work in PS/2 mode although they aren't advertised to be compatible with that mode.

All the USB to PS/2 adapters are passive and the PS/2 protocol is handled by the mouse itself.
