I have an old microsoft wireless ball mouse, i have the dongle but it has ps/2 connectors (i know about ps/2 to usb but i dont want to use it as the dongle is big). Is there way to use a usb wifi card(tp-link) as the reciever and make it work?

I can understand holding on to a classic Mac mouse or something like that, but the mouse you have is pretty much generic 90s/early 2000s disposable garbage that’s nothing special.
Microsoft mouse used to be absolutely top notch back then. It truly was one of their best products. I was a mac guy back then, you know when it was not popular at all, and I used an M$ Intellimouse, they were the best.
Yes!! I used Linux back then (still do) and I absolutely hated M$, but I loved the Intellimouse.
I was also on BeOS, NetBSD, and various Linux distros like YellowDog :)
NetBSD was the best cause it was the only distro with a native bootloader for the OpenFirmware which meant it didn’t require a MacOS partition to kexec into a different kernel.
Good times!
With emphasis on “were” though. If memory serves the transition to laser mice was a huge improvement.
Its nice ambidextrous and has side buttons
