I want to use one mouse for two computers. Is it possible?
Do I need an adaptor to do this?

YES! I don't know how but my friends have two computers somehow linked together, and using the mouse, you can drag items from one screen to the other.

Well if you want to plug and unplug it each time then a USB mouse should work fine on two. But if you mean have one mouse permanently plugged into two computers to control both at once then NO you cannot do that.

You sure can. It's called a KVM switch. It allows you to use the same monitor and/or keyboard and/or mouse for two computers and press or toggle the switch to alternate between the two.

With the right KVM switch you can have 1 monitor, mouse and keyboard for 1 system. the cheapest one I've seen is approx $20. Check Newegg or even look at CNet.

What kind of mouse do you have? If you have a wireless USB mouse, you can plug it into computer 1's USB port and use it on computer 1, then plut it into computer 2's USB port and use it on computer 2. Does this answer your question? Not entirely sure what you're asking. If you're asking if you can use one mouse *simultaneously* on 2 computers, the answer is no.
Hope this helps.

If you get a KVM switch you can share 1 mouse, keyboard, and monitor with multiple computers.

Called a KVM switch box. Allows you to connect to PCs to one monitor, one mouse, and one keyboard. Press a switch on the box (or a keyboard combination) and it switches between the PCs. I have one that allows for PCs that I use daily.

Yes you can. You can use the same keyboard, mouse, and monitor but you need to buy this. You need to buy a KVM switch.

If you are using as PS2 mouse then you can buy an A/B switch which will allow you do do this. USB mice don't work.
