    help!! i have an old gaming mouse from a previous PC. It still works physically, but Windows doesnt fully support it, and teh Microsoft support page lists Mouse and Keyboard Center 2.8.160 only for newer models. Has anyone gotten similar old devices working on current Windows? Id love to keep using it if possible, but Id rather not install sketchy drivres from random sites. Thanks in advance. Any pointers are appreciated.

    ahh classic find the hardware ID in Device Manager > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids and search teh Microsoft Update Catalog for it. older drivers are often still available there. lmk how it goes

    lol same thing happened to me many peripherals work with generic Windows class drivers: webcams via USB Video Device (UVC), headsets via USB Audio, controllers and mice via HID. u may lose vendor-specific features but keep basic functionality. lmk how it goes

    ok so check the vendors support page for an archive or legacy products section... some vendors keep old drivers there, even if not listed on teh main page.
