Not offhand, report the bug to MSFT. I doubt they actually make the
things or write the drivers though that will be farmed out somewhere.
Use a PS2 Mouse & Keyboard with Vista if you have problems with the
trick stuff. It will get sorted for the final release.

I am using vintage Win95 KB & Mouse with PS2 adaptors no problems at
all.
