The usual under 10 buck models do not work. I use things like http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=A-USB2PS2&cat=KYB which is more than just wires.

I have a MS ItelliMouse trackball PS2(old but love it) but after buying a USB adapter for it it still won't work- Laptop doesn't recognize it! I don't like the touchpad (too touchy). I did see on a Q&A for a mouse company that USB adapters don't work on a PS2, if so why would they sell them!! The USB ports work as I plugged in a USB mouse fine( not a trackball tho') My system is: Toshiba Satellite A505-S6017- Intel i5-430M Quad - 4 GB DDR3 Memory - 500 GB hard drive. OS Win7 -64 bit
I've never needed drivers for it on other PC's but someone suggested it's because this is a 64 bit. I don't like design of newer trackballs as I have a problem w/right hand an the buttons are all on the right side that suits me perfectly. Is there any hope for me?!!
