If you have a computer or a laptop with a USB port, you can still use a PS/2 mouse with it. Buy a reliable PS/2 to USB adapter. There are several brands. Search online, browse through Web sites of major retailers such as BestBuy and CompUSA (see links, below) or research buyers’ guides such as MySimon (see link, below) to get more information about features and pricing of various PS/2 to USB adapters. Install the driver software from the installation CD (comes with the adapter). Some adapters don’t need any software to be installed. Connect the PS/2 connector of the mouse to the adapter. Connect the adapter to the USB port of the computer. You are ready to use the PS/2 mouse.
