Thanks Xzin - I actually did see you thoughts re the monoprice cables in your original blog write-up and quite a few other posts - but I have been tossing up in my mind whether it will be cheaper to buy from mono (cheaper cables but pay another shipping charge) or buy it all direct from vetra (same shipping for the vetras but pay more for cables) - I actually did have a look at the monoprice stuff though - huge saving (plus all the different lengths and stuff - I am finding it very hard to find anything similar here tbh)

Hey Furs - I saw that part too in Xzin's writeup and a few blogs/wikis - but I suppose I am a little like Xzin hinted at in his original post - I prefer to go full PS/2 (mainly because I personally don't know any better and can't honestly test if there is a difference) - Xzin did make the untested suggestion?? that potentially they should work - do you guys know if there actually is a bit of extra latency using these? - all fair though, you suggestion is a huge discount on the ymouse

TBH, the main thrust of the post was to clarify how many cables (and of what type I needed) - I am guessing that the number is 16 Male to Male PS/2s from using Xzin's wiring mockup - just wanted to make sure as it's a long way to post for a missing wire
