I recently acquired a second computer, however I have only the one monitor, and so have purchased also a small device that allows me to switch between wich computer is displayed upon the monitor with just a few keystrokes.

The device allows the use of the same keyboard and mouse for the operation of both machines as well, however it only SUPPORTS ps2 devices.

This is not a problem as far as the keyboard, but my mouse on the other hand is USB. I do have an old 2 button ball style mouse I can use, but I would prefer to have the use of my 5 button optical mouse with scroll wheel (who wouldn't).

I do have an adaptor that allows me to use the USB mouse in a PS2 port, but it of course limits the functionality quite a LOT (scroll wheel/button and other two buttons no longer function)

Can ANYONE suggest a way to get around this problem?
Are there similar MOUSES (mice?) available for use in a PS2 port that would retain full functionality with my setup?

Or should I just buckle down and prepare myself for a future of constant unplugging and relocating my USB mouse from machine to machine when from one to the other?
Can you just buy a new mouse that works with the other PC? (for the new one)
