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

KVM:
Working here with a 4-port KVM from Uniclass, model UKV-204 (PS2, VGA).
See http://www.uniclass.com.tw/english/01_product/01_list.php?mid=79&id=30 .
Acquired 6 years ago, using with four operating systems, never any problem
with eCS. (Fedora has problems, though, to connect mouse and monitor. Maybe
it's due to the mainboard in the Fedora box being too modern.) 

Mouse:
When my last PS2 mouse died several months ago I resorted to a Cherry USB
mouse, model M-5400, part no. 5450, and a PS2-USB adapter.

Works perfectly in eCS; no noticeable delay.

Cheers/
