Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ True PS/2 connector - no USB adapter or driver install needed
✓ 1000 DPI optical tracking, a real step up from ball-mouse era pointers
✓ Symmetrical shell works left- or right-handed
✓ Button assignment adjustable in BIOS, useful on headless industrial boxes
✓ 6-foot cable reaches a floor-standing tower without an extension

Cons

✗ PS/2 only - will not work on any modern USB-only motherboard
✗ Three buttons and one wheel, no side buttons or DPI switch
✗ Stated Windows support stops at 10; no XP-to-11 claim from Perixx
✗ 0.21 lb is light, so it can skate on slick desk surfaces

Manufacturer description

The Perixx PERIMICE-209 P solves a specific problem: you have a machine with a PS/2 port and no working mouse. This wired optical mouse uses the legacy PS/2 connector, installs without additional drivers, and brings 1000 DPI optical tracking to hardware that predates USB HID reliability. Perixx keeps the layout simple and familiar - three buttons plus a scroll wheel - with a symmetrical shell that works in either hand, and button assignment you can adjust in your computer BIOS. The 6-foot cable gives you room to reach a tower under a desk, and at 0.21 lb with a 4.3 x 2.3 x 1.5 inch footprint…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Perixx PERIMICE-209 P using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the keyboards & mice category. Perixx's keyboards & mice lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for keyboards & mice of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work on a modern PC?

Only if your motherboard still has a PS/2 mouse port. The PERIMICE-209 P uses a legacy PS/2 connector, not USB, so a board without that round 6-pin port cannot accept it.

Do I need to install drivers?

No. Perixx lists it as easy to install without additional drivers - the PS/2 interface is handled by the system itself, which is why it works on older Windows installs with no driver media.

What operating systems are supported?

Perixx lists compatibility with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. Newer or non-Windows systems are not listed; check the product listing if you need confirmation beyond that range.

How long is the cable?

6 feet, per the manufacturer spec. That is enough to reach a tower on the floor from a desktop surface without an extension cable.

Is there a warranty?

Perixx lists a 12-month limited warranty on this model. Check the product listing for current terms and how to file a claim in your region.
