Sren Schmidt: |I didn't mean RF problems or anything with the X-10 hardware, but having |it communicate TOGETHER with the mouse is a real bad idea, to put it |on the PS/2 mouse port is insane, that is the crappy enginnering I'm |talking about (I wouldn't even call it engineering).... Can't speak to the PS/2 mouse port issue. My serial mouse is running pass-though though the MouseRemote. |And it has NO business in moused whatsoever, its a hack and it doesn't |belong there. I'm sorry I havn't noticed this before, but its should be |ripped out ASAP, I would never have allowed it in there if I had |found out before. So far I have yet to hear what about it is a hack. The device is designed to save you from having to take up another valueable serial port with the remote. It has mouse buttons on the back and a togglewheel on the front which can function as a mouse as well, so you don't even need to connect it up to another mouse for it to function as one.
