Being that this is a PS/2 mouse, it's probably not a good idea to hot swap it. I did install the mouse and it booted up without any problems. Just shutdown, unplug old one, plug in new one, power up, notice keyboard isn't working, shutdown, jiggle keyboard plug, power back up, keyboard works, mouse works. Mouse works great! It just has two side buttons(not configured) that can be accidentally pressed and are annoying. I guess I just have to get used to that. Not worried about the extra buttons right now.
