FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

Mouse Track Ball PS2 interface manufactured and designed by GE as part of the GE Fanuc Series used in Speedtronic Turbine Control Systems. A Mouse Track Ball with a PS2 interface refers to a type of computer input device that combines the functionality of a traditional mouse with a trackball. The PS2 interface is an older, commonly used connection for mice and keyboards before USB became more popular. Here’s how each component works:

• Trackball: Instead of moving the entire mouse across a surface, the user rotates a ball on the device to move the cursor on the screen. This can be beneficial in situations where space is limited or where precise control is needed.

• PS2 Interface: This refers to the 6-pin mini-DIN connector used to connect the mouse to the computer. The PS2 interface was widely used in personal computers, especially in the 1990s and early 2000s. It's considered a predecessor to USB connections and provides a reliable wired connection for peripheral devices.

KEY FEATURES OF A MOUSE TRACKBALL WITH PS2 INTERFACE:

• Precision: The trackball allows precise movements, especially useful in applications that require fine control (like graphic design).
• Space Saving: Ideal for cramped spaces, as it doesn’t require movement across a surface.
• PS2 Connector: A wired connection that can be more stable than wireless alternatives, although it is becoming less common in modern computers which mostly use USB ports.
• Compatibility: The PS2 interface is supported on older PCs, and if you're using modern computers, you'd likely need a PS2-to-USB adapter if the system doesn’t have a PS2 port.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Is the Mouse Track Ball PS2 Interface compatible with modern computers?

The PS2 interface is an older connection, so it may not be directly compatible with newer computers. However, you can use a PS2 to USB adapter to connect it to modern systems that don’t have a PS2 port.

What are the benefits of using a Trackball Mouse over a regular mouse?

Trackball mice are more ergonomic as they reduce hand movement, saving space since they don’t need to be moved across a surface. They are also great for precision tasks like graphic design.

How do I connect the Mouse Track Ball PS2 Interface to my computer?

Simply plug the PS2 connector into the PS2 port on your computer. If you’re using a modern computer without a PS2 port, use a PS2-to-USB adapter to connect it via a USB port.
