    I have a 3 year old Linksys KVM2KIT, never used yet. I have a USB mouse and thought I'd only need a USB to SP/2 adaptor to get it going. A friend mentioned to me that I might need a 'signal converter'?:eek I found some PS/2 mice at the right price. Who's right? BTW, he just got a '4 port AirLink USB KVM w/ audio'.

    Hi Augie,

    I have run USB mouse on a USB to SP2 adaptor (Green) many times with no problems. Appears to be straight through, no electronics involved.

    Good Luck, Jim
