Hello!

Does anyone know why my PS/2 mice, with its USB adapter (Logitech and
eMachine), like to pause on my new EVGA X58 SLI (132-BL-E758; BIOS
date 5/11/2010; v6.00 PG; release number IX58SZ64) motherboard in
32-bit Windows? I never had this problem with my other older
motherboards with pure PS/2 connections, but this new motherboard only
has a PS/2 keyboard port so I was forced to use a USB adapter for the
mouse. The reason for a PS/2 mouse is because I use a KVM to share my
monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I already eliminated the cables and KVM
switch box to see where the pauses are coming from. They're not from
KVM and its cables.
My PS/2 mice likes to pause in 32-bit Windows. Rear ports seems to
pause way more than the front. The pauses can cause randomly and every
few seconds. I also tried different adapter cables beside different
PS/2 mice. I can reproduce this in both 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP3
(safe mode too) and 7 PE liveCD.

Many of those machines with only one PS/2 port, can handle a mouse and a
keyboard used in the same port. I would test to make sure that having
one or the other works fine first. And if that passes, I would buy one
of those PS/2 Y cables. And then you should be good to go.

Well, my motherboard shows a keyboard logo on that PS/2 port. Are you
saying connecting a PS/2 splitter for a mouse and keyboard would work
and fix the mouse pauses?
