It's the manufacturer of your keyboard.
As is the case with modern Electronics, sometimes something manufactured by
one vendor is branded and sold by another,so you may not recognize the name.

Why is it called a mouse?
CHESEN PS2 to USB Converter Mouse
The word "pointer" on that line might be a clue. Sounds like it provides
mouse and keyboard USB inputs. In ancient times computers had a pair of
PS2 sockets, one for the mouse and one for the keyboard. On some places
which socket you used mattered - they were distinctively coloured, but
it may be that that was something the OS could deal with in software (I
don't know enough) by recognising mouse input data versus keyboard input
data.

Why is it called a mouse?
CHESEN PS2 to USB Converter Mouse
You need the full USB VID and PID. Chesen supplies the internals
for a USB dongle sold under various names with "Y" cable for PS2
mouse and keyboard connectors. The same Chesen internals could
be used internally in PC's with PS/2 ports or in keyboard-video-mouse
switches.

I assume you're using a device to convert your PS/2 mouse and/or
keyboard to USB.

Hi Sam,
You called it!
My keyboard is indeed a PS/2 keyboard. It is a UniComp and it
will never die! Love the keyboard. It is so old I had
forgotten it was PS/2 and I had a mouse/keyboard converter on it.
Thank you!
