| PS2 to USB adapter for Trackball |
| (1/1) |
| fwiler:
I wanted to order an inexpensive 2 1/4" trackball that only has a PS2 cable. Can I use an active USB to PS2 adapter for these as I'm using a laptop that doesn't have PS2 on it? I've used these adapters for mice and keyboards before with no issue. Here is a link to the one I'm looking at as it has the best reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-PS2-Keyboard-USB-Adapter/dp/B000BSJFJS |

It'll probably work, so long as the device is supported by your operating system. |

I have this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007T27HI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use it with the sparkfun trackball in mame. so far it has worked in windows XP,7 & Linux. It even works on my raspberry pi. No driver needed. |
