I have two computers linked to one setup using a PS/2 KVM switch. The keyboard is PS/2, the mouse is USB. I connect the latter to the KVM using an adapter.
I recently changed one of the computers, and the new one has a single PS/2 port. Naturally, this is where the keyboard will go.
For the mouse, I decided to get a PS/2-to-USB adapter, same as most of us see but backwards. I figure, USB to PS/2 and back to USB shouldn't be a big deal. Unfortunately, it is.
Under this setup, the mouse refuses to work. It does not light up at all.
My objective, from here, is to achieve a working setup using as little change in parts and money spending as possible.
