I built a computer recently for my BEAM cabinet and when I tried hooking up my KE72-t it said no ps/2 mouse found. When I hooked up a regular ps/2 mouse, it saw it fine. Well, I tried for about a week when I reached that point where you don't care about the money and you just want to fix the problem. So I bought the Y-mouse and my problem was fixed. I plugged the regular mouse into the primary device in the Y-mouse so my computer would see the mouse and plugged the KE72-t into the secondary device and low and behold, it worked fine and I could use my rotary sticks again. So that was fine, but when I tried hooking up my dual spinner and trackball panel, it wouldn't let me use the ps/2 and serial mouse at the same time...just my luck. It worked fine on the other computers that i used my panels on, but the one I've dedicated to the cabinet wouldn't work right! Anyway, I had to redesign the interface for the second panel and I ordered a second y-mouse to daisy chain in the first and also ordered a ME4 from Hagstrom so my Trackball would be Ps/2 also with the spinner ps/2. This solved my problem! Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know incase they didn't already about the y-mouse. It saved my butt, maybe it can do the same for you. :)
