Belkin Combo Mouse: USB and PS2

RRP: AU$29.95 Belkin Combo Mouse: USB and PS2

The Good: The Combo mouse is essentially the non-optical version of Belkin's Optical Mouse USB and PS/2. Like that mouse, the Combo USB/PS2 connectivity is managed via a dongle that plugs into the USB end of the mouse. Shaped for a similar experience no matter what hand you use.

The Bad: As with the optical version, the bland shape could be poor for some hands, especially for extended use. It's also extremely light, which some users might find annoying. The supplied driver isn't entirely brimming with configuration options, either.

The Verdict: At the AU$29.95 price, we'd plumb for the optical version of this mouse, which is only AU$10 more, and has the same ability to work in PS/2 or USB modes.
