Is it possible to convert laptop touchpad to ps2/usb?

**Sonicxtacy02** · 03-07-2005, 11:03 AM

I have this touchpad off of a Dell Inspiron notebook i trashed. I would like to flush mount it in my car and connected it to my via with either ps2 or usb. Is there an adapter i can do this with or would i need to do pin outs in the like?

I also want to do this.
I'd like a wireless touch pad.
I think it's not too difficult to do.
If you get any data on it please keep me updated.
Email me an address if you are interested in my progress.

That's pretty cool I guess.
I want to embed one into my desktop case. (I never use the mouse but it would be nice to know where it is when I want it)
And a wireless as an armband. (silly I know)

I think that there are 2 or four wires. And it would be as simple and snip snip and reattach. I'm going to try it for a wireless mouse.
