USB Mouse Adapter - recommendations
Which is the best USB mouse adapter for the Amiga?
I want to plug a wireless USB mouse adapter into my A1200 through one of these mouse adapters. Is that possible? I've seen a few types on eBay and various names, but I don't know how they perform. Best performing, no problems, just works. Budget £25. Thanks |

I was looking into this myself a little while ago, and I ended up with a wired mouse, just FYI.
It usually depends on your mouse, rather than the adapter (Well, sort of). Most adapters implement the PS/2 mouse protocol, even over usb. So, any mice, wireless or not, that don't do this, won't work. (Any most newer mice don't. With some exceptions; Cheap mice, and some wired Microsoft mice) Usually, if it works with one of these on a PC, it'll work: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....1fSqEbEFyL.jpg There are a few adapters that have their own usb stack, and they may or may not work, depending again, on how the mouse is made. I have an Aranet.net mouse adapter, which is the first type, of the above 2. https://www.arananet.net/pedidos/pro...mouse-adapter/ I've used it with a really old wireless mouse and a few newer wired mice. Most of my newer mice don't work with it. |
