MSX PS/2 mouse Adapter for the MSX computer

There are only a few MSX mice around, and the chances of finding one that is functional and affordable are not very high.  Now there have been a number of developments over the years that have tried to adapt a PS/2 mouse via an interface to use on the MSX computer.
I found a schematic online that looked promising, and decided to convert that schematic into my own PCB design.
the heart of this interface is an AtTiny 2113 , a kind of micro computer that translates the PS/2 protocol that the mouse speaks into an instruction set that the MSX understands.

The great thing about my own design is that is 50% shorter than some other designs , thus reducing the lever effect  which could cause severe damage to a machine's mouse port.

My design is based on Caro 's 2009 schematics

MSX PS/2 mouse Interface for the MSX computer, operation:

The  MSX PS/2 Mouse Interface can operate in both mouse and joystick emulation mode.
Switching the mouse emulation mode can be done by simultaneously pressing both mouse keys (left and right).
The current mode is indicated by an LED, if it is lit, the interface is operating in mouse emulation mode. In joystick mode, the LED will not illuminate.
When the interface is connected and the computer is started, the MSX PS/2 Mouse Interface starts by default in mouse emulation mode (ie the LED is on).

If the LED flashes with an interval of about 1 second, then either no mouse is connected, or the mouse is not functioning (properly).
Note: Not every mouse connected via a USB <-> PS/2 adapter will work in PS/2 mode.

MSX PS/2 mouse for Roland Synths

MSX PS/2 mouse Interface for Roland synths :

For people looking for a Roland MU-1s , this interface offers much of the same functionality by allowing you to hook up a regular PS/2 Mouse.
The  MSX PS/2 Mouse Interface will operate on some Roland synthesizers, however selecting and dragging with 2 mouse buttons pressed does not work.
Pressing the 2 mouse buttons simultaneously has different functionality for the MSX (it forces switching between mouse and joystick emulation mode).

MSX PS/2 interface

Exactly what was needed for operating the 330 via mouse.
Lovely crafted adapter and working fine. Fast shipping to Germany aswell.

I recommend Ed and his passion for retro gear!

MSX/PS2 Roland S-330

Works perfectly with my sampler and an old logitech wireless PS2 ball mouse from the 2000's ! It save my left shoulder during long sampling nights with my S330, installed a little to high in my rack...
Sure it's saving me a future welding session in a few years, when my switches would have died too. Easier to change the mouse.

Fast delivery.
Thanks !

MSX PS/2 Mouse Interface for Roland S-760

The MSX PS/2 adapter works PERFECTLY! Just find an old PS/2 mouse, plug it into the adapter, and voila - Roland S-760 heaven!

Also, have no fear dealing with this vendor - they are professional, courteous, thoughtful and prompt ... even a bit humorous to boot! Delivery was fast, too!


A+++!

Works great on the Roland S-550

Received this in the mail the other day and it's working like a charm in my Roland S-550.
Ed was super friendly and responsive by email and shipped quickly and carefully.
Great experience!

Works great!

I bought this adapter to be able to play MSX Legends. It works great with my old PS/2 balled mouse 🙂 I highly recommend this adapter.

Great!

The MSX PS/2 interface works perfect with the Roland S550 🙂
I use it with a cheap old mouse with a ball inside.

PS/2 - MSX adapter

I recently received the PS/2 adapter, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Communication with the Ed was excellent—clear, prompt, and helpful throughout.
The adapter arrived well-packaged, showing real care in shipping.
Best of all, the device works perfectly with my MSX system, delivering smooth and reliable performance.
Highly recommended for anyone wants to use a "modern" PS/2 mouse with MSX!

Roland S-760

I bought the MSX PS/2 mouse interface and a mouse to use with a Roland S-760 sampler. It works great, and it's the perfect solution as an alternative to the original Roland MU-1 mouse.



Easy and quick ordering and shipping.
