The mouse depends on which kind of mouse you've got, and if it has 2 or 3 buttons; if 2, you can make 3 buttons with emulation (see the mouse section above). The monitor & screen section- you need the specifications from your monitor for those. I didn't have mine anymore, so I had to guess; I must've guessed right. ;)
