Re: Twiddler2 PS/2 question

From Wear-Hard Mailing list Archive (WH) Maintained by R. Paul McCarty

I have tried a half dozen of those dual PS/2 to USB adapters with my
Iogear KVM, but the mouse won't work (and yes, I've tried several
different mice). Using one of the passive adapters (like the one in the
link below) it does work--depending on the mouse, it's not compatible
with all mice :(

The other option would be to find a PS/2 to USB adapter that only
converted the mouse and was not a composite device, but I don't know if
anyone makes those.
