FWIW I'm using a startech KVM - had good luck with them and they usually
include the cables, while some other brands make you buy them extra.

Anyone who has one, please share the make and model with me.  Perhaps I can
still find a local vendor who carries the mouse.

Allow me to clarify, that my existing mouse (with the button going bad) is a
USB mouse connected through a USB/PS2 converter into a Belkin VGA/PS2 KVM
unit.  I was very surprised to learn the replacment mouse with usb
connectivity didn't work at all. :(
