Old mouse - Help

[galagagamer1092]

I just found this old Logitech by dell mouse. I can’t figure out how to connect it to my computer or how it works. The fcc code listed is jnz211499. Please help

Ps it also looks like it’s from 2001 if that helps

I found the user Manual and it seems like you need a receiver (which is then plugged into the PS2 port) - if you don't have that, you won't get it to work i guess. Its a ball mouse, right? So, curious - why on EARTH would you ever even want to try making that thing work?

It's old and if you don't have the receiver that came with it, it's pretty useless.

It was a cool looking mouse. I was thinking with a bit of work I could make a wireless gaming mouse out of it.

Also btw this mouse uses a laser. Might be something cool to use if I wanted to make a 2000’s sleeper build

Thats strange, then i was misguided by the manual, but it seems like thats a "one for many one". Also, i wouldn't be surprised if the mouse performs worse then even today's cheap ones, so sleeper build - hell yeah, gaming mouse - hell no?

I probably could heavy modify the mouse to fit a g300s board then have a new wireless board. But yeah without any modifications I wouldn’t expect it to preform very well
