Adaptive mouse re-direction

A baseboard management controller, comprising:

• a control unit;
• and
• a memory unit in communication with the control unit and storing instructions, the control unit operative with the instructions to:
• detect a type of a first mouse;
• receive data generated by a second mouse;
• and
• determine, based at least in part on the detected type of the first mouse, whether to modify a format of the received data.

A system comprising:

• a baseboard management controller (BMC);
• and
• a field programmable gate array (FPGA) in communication with the BMC;
• the BMC including:
• a control unit;
• and
• a memory unit in communication with the control unit and storing instructions, the control unit operative with the instructions to:
• detect a type of a first mouse;
• receive data generated by a second mouse;
• and
• determine, based at least in part on the detected type of the first mouse, whether to modify a format of the received data.

An apparatus comprising:

• a storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a machine result in the following:
• detecting a type of a first mouse;
• receiving data generated by a second mouse;
• and
• determining, based at least in part on the detected type of the first mouse, whether to modify a format of the received data.
