Short answer to all of this. My brother and I have been using computers for years. We have never found any mouse or keyboard of any kind that performs as well, over the long haul, as the standard keyboard and mouse. OK. Exception for the optical moue. That's good. Anything else gives trouble sooner or later.and trackpoint for laptops. Those are great.Bit more from me. Thanks for your responses.

NOTICE. Never unpin/plug the PS/2 mouse with power on. It damages weaknesses the electronics inside the mouse. It wlll right away, or become weak and fail later.
