Well, I was thinking of doing a mousepad mod where i could take a usb cable i have, and run that to the mousepad, and then from there have a PS2 port, so i can plug my mouse in from there. Do you think id have any problems? Seems like itd work to me..

Thanks :)

Seems like you're adding an extra cord that would just get in the way?

My guess is to hook up a led to it?

ding ding ding, something along those lines. ;)

the main reason is because I would like to make a custom mousepad, and I also have a problem with my mouse cord being too short. So, if I can just have a cable thats stationary and then my mouse runs off of that, I will have plenty of mouse movement area, and have a cool way of doing so. :)

It's sounding better now:D

I guess you're going for something like this... (http://www.frozenpc.com/XIDEPADULTRA.htm)

Cool stuff, but im too cheap, so im going to *try* and do this all by hand, rather than buying the adapter. :p
