Hey fellas a while back i asked about a KVM and decided to go buy a 4 port KVM. Well i bought that KVM and it's not working with my intelli mouse. More specifically "IntelliMouse Explorer3 ps2 compatiable". It just keeps flickering every second or so.

Im running the mouse through a USB to ps2 adapter, as the KVM only takes ps2.
Anyone know how i can solve this?

perhaps the kvm doesn't pass a required amounth of power through to the mouse ?

I guess you could get two USB extensions and tape them to the top of the KVM and just switch the USB mouse between the female ends of them.

what kind of kvm is it? (brand,etc)

i used to run the same mouse fine, now im running a wireless one through the kvm with a usb->ps2 adapter

that converter i gave you might be for keyboards only, search around in the black shoe box under my desk for a green one.

and while it sounds weird that a usb keyboard uses a different converter, i've found from experience that it has.

Oh yeah, try an old ps2 mouse if you have one lying around, maybe the port on the KVM is broken ?

giri=correct

wrong ps2 adapter colour/type.
