Is there a Microsoft keyboard that aesthetically pairs with this mouse? I am checking to see what existed back then that might visually fit, and still support PS/2 via a passive USB adapter. Was this mouse commonly sold with a keyboard that matched?

I like this mouse for my DOS 6.22 rig. It's a USB mouse that has internal hardware to support PS/2 mode with the passive mouse adapter. it's optical and even lights up. It looks nice and takes me back. It feels like it fits with the 90's Sidewinder game controllers.

Probably the Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000

FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.

I have a few "baise" versions of these (or at least similar looking with both USB and PS/2 with adapter) and a Msoft keyboard they go nicely with (also baise - never seen a black one)
I can get the exact model of the keyboard if that might help.

A Wired Keyboard 500 would go nicely with it.

Maybe the Microsoft Internet Keyboard? I got one in beige but they are also available in black (for example: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-C19-00427-In … k/dp/B0002CPBVO).

Something like New Model M by Unicomp would fit quite nicely, and they even have PS/2 option, but unfortunately it's quite expensive. A few years ago they were considerably cheaper. 🙁
