The best option in this scenario would be to install a DIN-to-USB converter on the mouse and use a USB port. This would allow the user to continue using their existing keyboard with the DIN connector while also being able to connect their mouse to the computer using a USB port. Returning the motherboard for a full refund and reinstalling the old motherboard or buying a new keyboard are not necessary or cost-effective solutions, and inserting the keyboard into the serial port is not a viable option since the motherboard only has one DIN connector which is already designated for the keyboard.
