I have an old microsoft wireless ball mouse, i have the dongle but it has ps/2 connectors (i know about ps/2 to usb but i dont want to use it as the dongle is big). Is there way to use a usb wifi card(tp-link) as the reciever and make it work?

    Yes!! I used Linux back then (still do) and I absolutely hated M$, but I loved the Intellimouse.

      I was also on BeOS, NetBSD, and various Linux distros like YellowDog :)

      NetBSD was the best cause it was the only distro with a native bootloader for the OpenFirmware which meant it didn’t require a MacOS partition to kexec into a different kernel.

      Good times!
