this device if more than two additional devices are desired on the same computer.

Other Operating Systems:

The 

Y-

mouse

 Keyboard and Mouse Adapter for USB

 works with most USB systems. If you have another

operating system and the 

Y-

mouse

 did not work when you plugged it in, visit our web site at www.ymouse.com,

e-mail tech support at [email protected], or call us at 517/655-5523.

Special Settings

To access any of the following Special Settings use a PS/2 keyboard attached through the 

Y-

mouse

 to the

computer. 

The procedure is:

 After installing the 

Y-

mouse

 using either the Macintosh or PC instructions above,

open a simple text-editing program (like Notepad), hold down the <Esc> key, tap the appropriate alpha key, and
release the <Esc> key to execute any of the following Special Settings.

<Esc> <s>

 – Lists the 

Y-

mouse

 version and the programmed features.

<Esc> <q>

 – Sets the mouse speed to a faster mode.

<Esc> <e>

 – Stops the normal USB power-off feature. Set this if you want to use the attached mouse and

keyboard to wake up the computer. After executing the <Esc> <e> command, unplug and re-plug the 

Y-

mouse

from the USB port to make this Special Setting take effect. Shutting down and turning off the electricity to the
computer after executing the command also enables this Special Setting to take effect.

<Esc> <y>

 – Changes the Scroll Lock key on a PC to a USB Scroll Lock key (the 

Y-

mouse

 default setting is for

Macintosh computers, which use the parallel key on Macs as a power-on key).

<Esc> <w>

 – This changes the PC keyboard commands into Mac keyboard commands (PC <Windows> keys to

Mac <option> keys and PC <Alt> keys to Mac <command> keys). The 

Y-

mouse

 default is PC mode.

<Esc> <r>

 – This swaps only the left side PC <Windows> and <Alt> keys into Mac key commands.

<Esc> <i>

 – This will cause the mouse to only report standard 3-byte mouse commands. Some SGI USB

machines and other systems that cannot use scroller or multi-button information need this Special Setting.

NOTE: 

The 

Y-

mouse

 stores these settings in its own internal memory so even if you unplug, power down, or

move the 

Y-

mouse

 to another computer, the settings will not be lost.
