I've a dumb 4x Manhattan mechanical data switch (low price) 
working with obsd 2.6 and win98

an old Sunshine 101-keys keyboard works fine with the switch at both
OS's

a new win keyboard (those with turbo/power/sleep/win and such crap keys)
works well too

a serial 3-buttons genius mouse works fine too

a serial genius 'NetScroll' mouse (the damn little wheel in the middle)
hangs 1 of 3 times at both win and bsd, but if I pull off and on the 
mouse connector, it works fine again

are cheapest keyboard&mouse working better ? :-)
