Okay, so it's been three months since I asked about this, and I'm still using two keyboards and two mice. The fact is, all three of us enjoy our new keyboards and mice, and use them mainly despite the fact that we are set up so that we can use only the older PS/2 set if we wanted to.

My new question is this: is it possible, if I want to take on the project, to rewire a PS/2 connector onto the end of the keyboard's USB cable? Is it possible with the mouse?

These are two shots in the dark, because I'm desperate. I hate all the wires all over my desk, and the space taken up by two keyboards. If only Dell sold this newer model keyboard in PS/2 form (it's really nice).
