Hey, I've got the MX510 which is a class mouse, it comes with the Ps2 converter which I had in for a while, I’ve now just connected it right to the USB which is far better tbh.
Man of Honour
There are occasionally some issues with PS2 adapters or at least there were with some Microsoft mice meaning that it can jerk a little on movement. It doesn't happen with every adapter but I'd probably use USB unless you are going to be running an older system like Win 3.1 or Win 95 that doesn't support USB as standard but that is unlikely 
Thanks for the replies boys, I asked due to the fact that its a bit awkward getting the base unit out. I'll give it a go with the usb connex first then. Cheers.

I use the ps/2 ---> USB adaptor with my Logitech & it works great

Im using the usb->ps2 adapter on my mx300 only because i've filled up all my usb slots. 
Handy thing is you can still set a pretty good refresh of 200hz in device manager whereas you would have to patch a driver to get a refresh greater than 125hz on usb. Anyway the MX series are great mice 
. Sometimes i start to think the insane dpi on the newer mice are pointless seeing a lot of people are still using the older MS IE series.

Got it plugged in and running via USB atm, a lot smoother than me old logitech "£9" special, button action is a lot smoother too, very nice feel to the whole thing. Tried it in BF2 and I can now fly the helicopter a lot easier for some reason (dunno wether this is down to different or better quality), but I can now fly around the whole battlefield without crashing, lol so a good result there, I can even land it where I want to (most of the time). The "in game" feel seems more accurate, and aiming is leagues ahead of what I was using before. Well pleased with this.

To get the extra buttons to work on my MX1000 I need to connect it to a USB port.
