NOTE: The USB mouse module is powered from CN1 port header of your Amiga mainboard through R352 resistor, which in original configuration serves as basic short circuit protection. Under the load, this resistor inevitably creates slight voltage drop on a VCC. As long as your system is powered from well performing PSU and you do not over-stress USB port, this is perfectly fine. However, in the corner cases the voltage can drop bellow minimum threshold level, which causes USB module and/or USB device to shut off. In such a case, you are advised either to replace the PSU for one with better characteristics, or replace above mentioned 4R7 resistor with 0R value. USB module itself contains its own level of short circuit protection – a resettable polymer fuse.

Hi, I am enquiring as to when you may have this item back in stock ?.
administrator –
I happy to inform you the USB modules will return to shop early next week. Another good news is it has undergone a design overhaul and its now more robust then ever.
Peter –
I have a rev 1D.4 motherboard. Will it not work?
administrator –
Apart from dimensional difference 1D4 mainboard has different connector, ergo USB module for 2B will not work with 1D4 mainboard without major modification.
USB module for 1D4 mainboard is beeing redesigned now and should be available (again) in about 4-5 weeks.
Bercand Jerome (verified owner) –
Works great but when rebooting using keyboard(ctrl+amiga+amiga), the mouse must be unplugged and replugged to work(tester with 4 différents mouses)

Hi, “timing fixes” and R352 change to 0R eliminate this issue.
