@maxtherabbit I think, you got it wrong. Both adapters, the one I introduced here and the one by Matze, were not made to give you any benefit over a normal serial mouse. If you have one, you can continue to use it, if you like. But what can people do, which do not have an old serial mouse? Or may be don't want to use it, because of the annoying ball mechanics? With this adapters you can use an optical mouse for example, or any PS/2 capable mouse, if you have no serial one. You know what I mean? The solution of Matze is more integrated, it is smaller and better tested, than what I made. My project on the other hand is more a DIY for the tinkerers among us 😀 But in the end, both adapters were tested and do work with DOS, Windows and Linux. I read about the problems with KVM delay, but first, not everybody uses KVM and second, it is a firmware issue, which can be improved relatively easily. I didn't look into the firmware of Matze's adapter, but I know how the timing can be drastically improved in my code. However, I would have to rewrite most of the code and I didn't find the time yet. Furthermore, I'm a software developer and I don't like dirty solutions, so I would like to think about a clean design and that needs time. Anyway, software can be easily updated afterwards and, just as I told, may be there are people out there, who would like to participate and improve the software too...
