PS2 Mouse , USB Port Problem...

Hi Guys,
I yesterday recieved a frontech PS2 optical mouse from indiatimes.I bought it to use in my laptop but was not aware that in laptops USB mouse work. Now what to do ???

I have heard that there are PS2 to USB converters available , but are not very cheap ( people here says Rs. 80 onwards but not available anywhere here at the moment ), also how successful are these converters ?? I mean is there any performance decrease ?? And what is the difference in the price of PS2 Optical mouse and USB Optical Mouse???I mean is the USB mouse too costly as compared to PS2 one ???
Please reply soon as to what to do because I am feeling really uncomfortable in using Mousepad of laptop.
Thanx in advance...

Rs. 15/- for the product which you are talking about :lol:

Notebook >> USB >> PS2

it comes with 2 socket to take input for both Keyboard and mouse and goes to USB of ur notebook...

try and look at right place where price would be some what justified :lol:

^^oh ok , thanx a lot. I will try get the best price here. and what about performance ??? is there any degrade ???

they sell those here at Kolkata under footpatch Computer parts sells :lol:

Like a jar full of candy, they store jar full or this Adon's :lol:

And what is the difference in the price of PS2 Optical mouse and USB Optical Mouse???I mean is the USB mouse too costly as compared to PS2 one ??? I am asking this because I am planning to exchange my ps2 with usb withsome dealer here.

I mean is the USB mouse too costly as compared to PS2 one ???

Infact no difference

some time PS2 is costiler :lol:

last night bought a USB Microsoft mouse which was Rs. 430/- where as the PS2 version was Rs. 450/-

:lol:

hmmm , ok , thanx a lot. On monday , I will try exchange it with USB instead of buying a converter.

I had once got a usb mouse for my friends lappy for 80 bucks. worked good.

I tried a lot in the market today. I could not find that converter below 80 rupees. Also, None is ready to take my PS2 optical mouse and give me a USB one even when I m ready to pay upto 50 rupees extra. So, I have decided to keep that PS2 mouse with me for future( if ever needed) and buy a new one. Please suggest a good and economical USB optical mouse to be used in my laptop considering that I may occasionally use it for gaming also.

Micorsoft or Logitech usb opticals are nice for laptops

Hi guys ,I finally bought a connector for 80 bucks. Now Vista new hardware installed but it not working , is there anything to be done to make this external mouse work in laptops ?? please reply...

Restart the Notebook, and update the vista there is update present for vista for USB devices...

^^restart not helped. by updating vista for USB devices , u mean general vista update by selecting windows update or anything specific to be done.

make sure you have this update installed for Vista

^^ installed this update, took a hell lot of time, still no use. :-(

What is the error are you getting ?? I mean under device manager what it shows ??

^^under device manager , no error shown , it shows synaptic PS2 mouse is working properly. But its not working, am i missing something obvious ???? *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/106.gif
