A-EON Boing Ball Mouse for Classic Amigas

[Thorham]

Nice, but does the scroll wheel work in the same way as with the Cocolino mouse adapter? I sure hope not...

[Thorham]

Eh?

Cocolino uses a trick to enable use of the mouse wheel and this messes with the normal mouse movement. It sucks, and is a legitimate complaint. I won't ever buy anything that works in a similar way. Basically, original ball mice work better

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about!

The movement doesn't seem off somehow? I find that very hard to believe.

Check your software for the latest versions.

Software or no software makes no difference.

The movement isn't as nice as native mice. It's not that there's anything wrong with the Cocolino interface, it's that it uses a trick to make the scroll wheel available over one game port. This sacrifices some accuracy in the movement. You can notice this when making large diagonal movements at various speeds. Moving the mouse in a circle shape very slowly will result in the mouse pointer moving in a rectangular fashion.
