Hey guys. Long time no chat.

So what are the advantages of Serial ps/2 mouse versus USB?

Why choose USB?
What about optical versus ball?

I think this has been covered over and over since the dawn of time but it is basically this: Get what ever you want. If you like a mouse get it. PS/2 or USB really doesn't matter. PS/2 has a slightly higher refresh rate but there is no way a human could distinguish between the two. If you are out of usb ports use a ps2 adaptor, otherwise you might as well just use usb.
Some people like ball mice some people dont. If you like ball mice get one if you dont, dont.
