Is there such thing as a USB to PS/2 adapter?...

I know you can get them with some mice (mine came with one) but I lost the damn thing and I need it now. Are they available in stores?

Could be.. Maybe you could try calling the manufacturer and see what they can do for you.. Im sure Microsoft would help, if its a microsoft mouse..

It's an intellimouse w/ intellieye. I would do that, but I don't want to wait several weeks. I'd just like to drive out to the store if possible and blow a few dollars. I called the local Staples but the idiot working there didn't know what the fsck I was talking about so I hung up. I have seen AT to Ps/2 adapters there before so I figured they may have the USB ones too.

MS won't keep you waiting for weeks. Their hardware support is excellent.

Tell them that you need one and it'll get to you within a few days. My first Intellimouse Exlporer was defective, and they got me a replacement in two days.

There should be bcause I konw that they make them for the new Imacs because all the have is USB

My Intellimouse Explorer came with an USB to PS/2 convertor, although I started off with using it, the light stayed on when I turned the computer off, so I swapped to USB

All USB Logitech mice come w/ a USB -> PS/2 adapter I believe. I will check my cables distributor for one....

AMB - mine did the same thing on an ASUS P3B-F board. Scary to think that there is still juice flowing through that puppy after it's 'shut down'. Anyway - I have seen them at CompUSA anbd WAL*MART - try there and look in the cable sections.

If you can't get one direct from MS, I will drop one of mine in an evelope and mail it to you. Absolutly FREE.

Oh yeah and with ATX there is always a little current flowing through the whole system. That is why you disconnect the power, or flip the switch on the PSU when you work on it. Also when you disconnect the power, press the ATX power switch afterward, this will discharge all that remains in capacitors and such. You can tell that there is some juice in the board for a while even after you unplug the power, because when you hit the ATX switch the CPU fan will spin for a short few seconds.
