Does anyone have one of those little mice that are intended to be used
with laptop PCs that they no longer use? I know I can buy one
relatively cheaply, but they all seem to have USB connectors, and I
would prefer one with a PS/2 connector. Most of my laptops have only
one USB port, so I don't want to tie that up with a mouse. Wireless
mice have the same problem, as their little radio transmitters are
designed for USB ports, too. I'm not asking for a donation, but simply
to buy a used one at a fair price.
Failing that, does anyone know where I could get a wired, PS/2 laptop
mouse cheap? Has anyone ever seen them at the MSU surplus store?
I use a trackball right now for a laptop with a non-functional trackpad,
but it's a bit bulky to carry around in the case. I know I could use a
desktop mouse instead, and it would save some space, but the only ones I
have that aren't already in use have roller balls. I do have a nice,
thin mouse pad I can use with such mice, so that may be Plan B for this.
Again, new optical mice seem to come with USB connectors.
