Hi
I'm after a gaming mouse for my PC but need it to be PS/2 as I'm running it through a KVM. I've been looking at the offerings from Logitech...any comments?
Thanks

You can run the mx1000 through ps2, as i imagine you can with any logitech usb mouse (dont quote me on it) because the wireless ones at least are interchangeable base station wise.
I'm not sure where (or if) PS/2 is the bottleneck for gaming mice.
I don't really want a wireless one unless it's a really good one...and I take it the MX1000 is?
EDIT: Was also after one with 1600+ dpi
IME, plugging a USB mouse into PS/2 (like the mx) makes fine adjustments (like graphics work) not so accurate and slightly jolty.
That's not too bad - I use a graphics tablet for my photoshop stuff. As long as it wouldn't be too bad in games.Quote:

Change it to 200 (if it breaks your mouse or anything, don't claim me responsible, but I've done it with about 6 different PS2 mice everytime and it works perfect) and then you should notice a much smoother precise movement of your PS2 based mouse :) USB mice don't have this option as I think it is by default at a high signal rate.Quote:

Should be OK for games. Try using your GT for games :O_o1:Quote:

But USB mouse plugged in has nothing. Is the above what you were refering to?
I can only find the 1200dpi versionQuote:

And it allows you to use the software that came with it and use all the buttons? I only sak because I can't use one button on my mouse at the mo as the driver doesn't detect it's there.Quote:

I personally went for the MX310, and it works perfectly fine using PS2 through a KVM.
You dont need to install the logitech software either to change DPI on the fly.Quote:
