  1. Can i connect a PS/2 mouse to Windows 11?


    Hey, I just found a old Logitech S96 PS/2 mouse and i'm trying to connect it to my Windows 11 PC.My motherboard has a PS/2 port on the back, and when i connect it, the mouse doesn't show up. My motherboard model is Z370 KRAIT GAMING. I opened Device manager and the mouse showed as "Microsoft PS/2 Mouse" and had a exclamation mark. I tried downloading drivers too but none of them worked. I tried this mouse on a older Windows 98 PC and it worked fine.

    :)

  2. PS/2 mouse

    It should be plug and play. If you currently have a USB mouse connected, disconnect it from the USB port, then connect the PS/2 mouse to the PS/2 port.

    Restart if its not detected.

    Can i connect a PS/2 mouse to Windows 11?

    How do I get a Ps/2 Mouse to work on windows 11?

    Hello,

    I have an old ps/2 mouse and I was trying to get it to hook up to my windows 11 PC. It already comes with a ps/2 port on it, tried plugging the mouse in to see if it would work, and it didn't, then tried using an adapter, which also didn't work. Then tried HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \i8042prt \ start, which also didn't work. I'm now out of options and don't know what to do next, suggestions would be helpful.
