What kind of input devices do you guys use/recommend for 98 se?
Do any of you use USB for mouse/keyboard/joystick? Are there any problems from using USB for this? (I work in DOS mode occasionally and I have not tried getting USB mouse/kbd to work in DOS.)
Does anyone use bluetooth devices on 98? I never looked into but erpdude claims it can be done: "bluetooth devices made by companies other than Microsoft like the 3Com Wireless Bluetooth USB Adapter [3CREB96B] can be used under W98se, 2k, ME & XP as noted on the hardware's system requirements specs."
I am using a 101-key PS/2 keyboard and a Micros~1 Wheel Mouse Optical USB (but I use an adapter to connect it to the PS/2 port). These all work fine and the mouse is great - it has a wheel, it never needs a mouse pad or cleaning or charging.
Also I like Gravis Gamepad Pro (not USB) a lot, but the drivers really blow. Some versions of the drivers are 20 MB just to use a game pad, plus they have bugs and Gravis is basically defunct now. I have some Unofficial drivers that seem to work best.
