My grandson gave me a USB mouse for Christmas many years ago.  One of the
buttons is now becoming very troublesome.

It is a USB mouse.  I have a KVM that uses VGA/PS2 connectors.  And the mouse
had been connected through the KVM using a PS2 adapter.

It has worked fine.

I went out to purchase a new mouse.  Except for off brands, it would seem that
corded mice are not terribly common anymore.  But a few are still available.

I purchased a Logitech M500 model mouse.  I find after plugging it in and
rebooting the system, it will not recognize the mouse through the KVM with the
PS2 adapter.  But eCs v2 will recognize the mouse directly through the USB
port.

I have heard through googling, that USB mice tend to take a few seconds to be
recognized by OSs wherease the older PS2 connections did not have this delay.

I guess I have two basic options.

First, find a good mouse that will work through the PS2 adapter with OS2. 
Anyone who has one, please share the make and model with me.  Perhaps I can
still find a local vendor who carries the mouse.

Or I might swap out the KVM for a DVI/USB set of interfaces. And then my task
would be to find a KVM that did not exhibit this USB mouse delay problem for a
reasonable price.  If one for a reasonable price can't be found, I guess I'll
have to live with the mouse recognized delay.

I really do not want to spend weeks and lots of money trying to find the right
combination.  I am hoping those with direct and current experience might give
me some recomendations and/or leads to help me find something that works.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark Vollmer
