Will this work for a PS2 mouse in a Windows 98 computer (has USB ports) that has a damaged PS2 port (can't plug mouse into port)?

I don't think it will. I bought one to connect a PS/2 keyboard and it won't work. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be used. May be worth a try, since it's not that expensive.

I don't have a Windows 98 computer. I used this adapter (actually all three that I purchased) to plug in a PS/2 mouse to a USB port on a Windows XP computer and none of them worked. That's too bad because if any of them worked I was going to send them to you. Look for the adapter that shaped like a cube. I will try that one and give you a link if it works. Stay tuned. in the meantime, I would not buy the ones in question.All the best,Kent Taylor

There is really no way to tell with the limited information presented. I would suggest you borrow one and try it.

It worked fine on my older computer. I plugged my PS2 mouse into the PS2 end of the adapter, then plugged the USB end into the USB port on my computer and it worked fine. Doesn't take a genius to do it either, and I'm certainly no genius! Good luck! Anna Banana

Yes this will work for you without any issues, just like your PS2 port. Just plug and play. Only draw back I've had with these, is that I had to tape the mouse connection to the adaptor. No big deal though.

There are all kinds of PS2 to USB adapters online. If you have a Radio Shack near you, they probably have some. Good luck. I wish they still made these pointers. Even their current ones aren't as good as the Trackman Marble FX

As long as your computer has the USB port for both the mouse and keyboard. The USB port is now the most used on any/all computers. I looked up the info on this computer and it has 3 USB ports - so it should work.

Any "PC" type USB keyboard with a standard USB connector (not the mini USB connectors unless you have an adapter) will work fine. The older PS2 type PC keyboards with the round connector will not work without a USB adapter. Any PC type USB mouse or trackpad will also work fine. USB keyboard/mouse/trackpad combinations will work fine.

Take a look at the back of the computer, there should be an PS/2 input for old mouse/keyboard, which would accept the reciever for this otherwise cordless combo.

Yes. It's a USB mouse so works like any USB device. There should be NO drivers/software to install. Plug in the USB receiver (stores in the bottom of the mouse when not in use) and press the Connect button(s). To get full functionality you may want to install the IntelliPoint software from Microsoft. NOTE: There is a button in the slot where the USB receiver is stored. This button MAY GET 'stuck'. If the mouse fails to respond when the USB receiver is plugged into the computer, and the battery is known good, ensure this button is fully released.GL,Td

It should work with no problem, as long as you have ps2 connections, which are purple and green on the back of the computer.

It's an empty port with 2 screw holes, one to either side. I'm actually not sure what type of device would mount there, although it looks like one of the old PS/2 mouse ports that you would see on a slot cover years ago. Like this: http://www.pccables.com/images/PS2-MOUSE-PORT-TO-MB-1x6-or-1x5-pin.jpgSo it might be for a MB that only has one PS/2 port on the back, but has an internal header for a second. OTOH, since everything today is USB that would be irrelevant.

It should. If the keyboard has a ps2 output, I don't see why not. You might want to ask an expert at a computer store to double check.

Mine plugs into a USB port. I don't know what kind of a connection a PS/2 uses but I suspect it's also a USB. Most computers have several USB ports the mouse can use.

I am using one on windows 8. I have used this type of adapter with only one device (mouse or keyboard) connected. Just be sure you connect each PS-2 device to the correct prot on the adapter.

The playstation wouldn't recognize the usb device. This device is just a cheap way of getting ps2 controllers to work with your pc.

John,i own a plain old PS2& the HDE PS PS2 USB Dual Controller doesn't work with it..So ,my answer would be I don't think so

Hi, you will need at least 1 USB port on your PC to plug in the USB adaptor/transceiver that comes with the mouse..

I was told I could use anything a usb port would use. I have plugged in a usb mouse and it work right awayI use it at home with my wireless internet. It connect up with that no problem. I haven't tried elsewhere. I believe it will work.

should be fine if you have a standard USB port and not a mini usb port that would otherwise require an adapter it is standard PC mouse widows has drivers for it
