IMPORTANT NOTE for MACINTOSH USERS: PC to Mac Keyboard Alteration –
The
Y-
mouse
default is for
keyboards on a PC and the <control>, <command> and <alt-option> keys on a Macintosh are not the same as
on PC keyboards. To change the
Y-
mouse
settings to Macintosh, hold down the <esc> key, tap the <w> key and
release the <esc> key. See
<Esc> <w>
in the section on Special Settings.
Operation
The operation is simple. The keyboard and/or mouse work independently or using combination commands
(i.e., shift-click). If you have two keyboards attached both keyboards will operate and either may be used. In
addition, it is possible to use a
Y-
mouse
Dual PS/2 Mouse Adapter
or a
Y-
key key
Dual Keyboard Adapter
with
this device if more than two additional devices are desired on the same computer.
General Notes about Mac OS and USB:
If your USB peripherals are not working properly on your computer you may need to upgrade or update
the operating system.

For PC Windows ’98 Systems:
1. The Y-mouse Keyboard and Mouse Adapter for USB uses a single USB port, make sure your computer
has a USB port.
2. Connect two PS/2 mice, keyboards or a mouse and a keyboard to the Y-mouse. Both devices must be
able to use a PS/2 port.
NOTE:
Adapters that change keyboards from AT style DIN-5 (5-pin) to 6-pin PS/2 may be used for
keyboards; however, mouse-type devices must be designed to work in the PS/2 port.
3. Plug the Y-mouse Keyboard and Mouse Adapter for USB into the USB port on your computer.
Incidentally, there are usually two USB ports – either will work.
- After plugging in the Y-mouse a window will briefly display that says "New Hardware Found –
P.I. Engineering PS2 to USB adapter."
- The "Add New Hardware Wizard" will replace the "New Hardware Found" window.
4. The wizard takes you through three installation programs, because you are adding three devices to
your computer – the Y-mouse and two peripherals (two mice, two keyboards or a mouse and a keyboard).
5. Get your CDROM Installation disk for Windows 98 and follow the instructions from the wizard. The first
time you re-plug into the second USB port you may need to repeat this process.
6. When the Wizard disappears, the driver installation is complete and the new devices should work. Test
the new keyboard and/or mouse in the software program of your choice.
General Notes about Windows ’98 and USB:
If nothing happens after plug in, try again – also, try another port.
●
Windows 98 will initiate the driver loading process for each USB port; therefore, we recommend that you
install the device on each available USB port, especially if you plan to do any USB reconfiguration.
●
If the Windows 98 driver loading process is aborted or cancelled, you may need to delete the system
registry entries and try again to get the device to load on that USB port. In other words, a failed driver
loading process only affects the port on which it failed.
