Anyone looking for serial mice or IBM PS2/ mice?

[Chuck(G)]

Discovered that I have a bunch of them.

The serial mice are generic "Surplus Software" branded 3 button jobs.

The PS/2 mice are the IBM ones with a very long tail and 2 buttons.

Let me know; make an offer if you're interested.

I'm in the market for a cheap serial mouse, but it has to be this style: https://cdn.thisiswhyimbroke.com/images/retro-transparent-neon-phone-300x250.jpg

I had one as a kid, and for some obtuse reason, I need to get it another one.

Will that serial mouse work on a PCjr? I got a cheap one off ebay but I couldn't get it to work.

I'll post some photos a bit later.

As to whether or not these will work with any given piece of gear, all I can say is that they worked for me on a variety of systems. They're utterly generic in behavior.

PM me with an offer. I have 3 or 4 of each.

Mice are consumables so anybody with a bunch of machines should snap these up (I have a bunch already or I would have myself).

That serial mouse wouldn't happen to have a switch on the bottom that switches between Microsoft and Mouse Systems protocol, would it?

I used to have three identical generic mice that had a switch like that - handy for testing certain applications, but all three mice eventually died in the same way, like the IR sensors slowly went bad. Obviously a design flaw. Still got whats left of a couple of them, I probably should take another stab at fixing them some time, but they were really cheap to start with.
