Never thought I would buy a mouse (computer mouse not animal) being i used the pad in the middle of the keyboard. But i picked one up on clearance at Walgreens. Yes, walgreens and it actually performs better than I thought it would (its walgreens, expectations are low with electronics lol). Who would of thunk it?
@Timmah1979 Peripherals like optical mice are such a commonplace and mature technology, you'd probably have to go out of your way to find a truly crappy one.
@MakerWerks that also shows the last time i used a mouse. Maybe 2004/5 lol
@MakerWerks off topic im guessing your an atari fan? lol
@Timmah1979 The first coin-op video game I remember playing as a kid was Tank!. That was Kee games but they were really Atari. Also, An Atari 800XL was my second and amazingly capable at graphics and sound compared to its competition at the time. My first computer was a TI-99/4A.
@MakerWerks Nice i just recently got into collecting 2600 games. I bought the Atari +. and it kinda reignited my adoration for the games. Ive been playing alot of seaquest lol
@Timmah1979 I sill remember the transition from the mechanical ball mice to the optical. The early optical ones were not really good. I definitely don't miss the days of having to clean congealed crud off a set of X-Y rollers inside the mouse.
