PS2 Mouse with adaptor

[Herbies]

Hi,

Qubes advice to use ps2 mouse and keyboard but is impossible to find one
in local shop.

I have bought some usb/ps2 adapter to connet usb keyboard and mouse to
my ps2 port. My keyboard is working well, but I have tried several model
of mouse unsuccessfully.

Do you know the reason because my usb mouses fail to function while
connected to the adapter?

Any other suggestion?

Thanks you

imo, it is not as important to have pci mouse as it is for keyboard. I just use a usb to pci adapter for keyboard. and Use a usb mouse with the qubes mouse proxy from usbvm. For extra security set lockscreen.

I have a few problem setting up usv mouse proxyvm.
Which STEP/GUIDE did you followed?

Thanks you.

I believe its automatic now, you just plug in the mouse and a message should appear on screen asking you to allow it. https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-app-linux-input-proxy

Hi,
I have the opposite problem. Most thin and light laptops do not have PS2, but have USB. I guess using PS2 mouse and keyboard with the PS2 to USB converter for my laptop won't help-it will be the same for Qubes as directly using USB mouse and keyboard. In this case, my only choice is to buy a laptop with PS2, I guess?
Thank you

Most laptop's built in keyboards already use PS/2. Don't think you'll find
any with an external PS/2 port current enough to run Qubes.
