Most commonly PS/2, USB, USB 2.0
This is called a "bus mouse" and is the precursor to PS2 technology. In the 1980s IBM compatible computers did not have a built in interface for a mouse. At the time many mouses used a serial connection (COM port). The bus mouse interface was developed by Microsoft so that the mouse would have its own dedicated interface. It was soon rendered obsolete when IBM released its next generation of PC's with the PS2 interface for keyboard and mouse.
The mouse plug, typically a USB or PS/2 connector, serves as the interface between a computer mouse and the computer itself. It allows for the transmission of data regarding the mouse's movement and button clicks to the computer, enabling user input and interaction with the graphical user interface. This connection facilitates real-time communication, ensuring that the cursor responds accurately to the user's actions.
A CD drive can interface with a mother board using an EIDE, SATA or SCSI interface.
The keyboard cable is orange with less prongs and the mouse cable is green with more prongs.
The connection to a router's console port input is commonly referred to as a "console connection." This connection is typically established using a serial cable, such as a rollover cable, connected to a terminal emulator program on a computer. The console port allows for direct access to the router's command-line interface for configuration and management purposes.
The green mouse port, typically found on older computers, is an analog connection used to interface with a mouse. It is part of the PS/2 connector system, which includes separate ports for the keyboard (purple) and mouse (green). The green port allows for the transmission of data signals from the mouse to the computer, enabling user input for navigation and interaction with the graphical user interface. In modern computers, USB ports have largely replaced these dedicated ports.
There are many ways to link 2 computers together. You can use a parallel cable, a crossover cable via the network interface card, run remote desktop over the internet, going through a router, special USB interface connection, programs like PCanywhere and using wireless connection. The best method depends on what you are wanting the link between the computers to do and what hardware you have to work with.
The mouse does not change. It remains a pointing and interface device.
There is not a cable that can extend the range of a wireless mouse.
MIDI is an acronym which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is a set of programming rules used to govern the connection and interface of musical instruments with computers. Musical Instrument Digital Interface on a piano means MIDI u can connect it to a computer thru a midi interface or u can connect 2 pianos with a midi cable and perform what u want from the both pianos, like IN,OUT and THRU option.

Cable not so much but you have to be careful with the internet
