I have a ps/2  trackball mouse in a modified happ trackball mount and wanted to convert it to usb.




I noticed these "convertors" on ebay and wonder if they work? I just want to make sure windows xp sees this when plugged in through the adapter.

Iffy.  I know the other way is easy to convert to!  (Usb to PS2)  Not sure if these work, but XXX to USB adapters are generally looked down upon, sue to issues.

Some converters are better than others.

The Belkin linked here is a good bet: http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Geekhack+WorldWide+Shopping+Links#PS+2+to+USB+Adapters
