Description
Overview
Give your retro computer setup the authentic peripheral it deserves. This genuine AOpen PS/2 Optical Mouse is a classic piece of computing hardware, ideal for vintage PC enthusiasts, retro gaming rigs, or any system still running a PS/2 port. AOpen was a well-respected Taiwanese hardware manufacturer known for producing reliable, no-frills peripherals throughout the late 1990s and 2000s — and this mouse is a fine example of that era’s dependable build quality.
Unlike modern USB mice, this PS/2 optical mouse connects directly via the dedicated PS/2 (mini-DIN 6-pin) mouse port, offering plug-and-play compatibility with older motherboards running Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, and even DOS-era systems. No drivers required on most legacy operating systems.
