can you splice a old mouse cord to have a usb cord on the end?

do you think you can
i mean i spliced ipod chargers to xbox controlers n alot of other stuffs

 

I am thinking no because the usb needs to load up some sort of drivers and the older mouse wont have those programed.

Cant hurt to try i guess but a usb mouse can be had for like $10 for a decent logitech optical. So why not just spend $10

 

dude u can buy little usb adapters that chages old mouse into usbs and the other way around

 

ipod chargers and xbox controllers use USB, even though they have different cables. PS/2 isn't the same system. The adapter you need is only an inocuous little pin-changer, so it may be possible, but I can't guarantee it. No harm in trying I suppose.

You can probably find a USB cable from a local PC shop for practically nothing, use that.
