In 1991 I met a fellow Amiga User that had an Optical Mouse that needed a grid mouse pad to work.
Has anyone used one of these?
Where they any good?
It looks like they disappeared quickly.
I could be wrong.
:-)
I had one of these. It was bad. While the motion was precise it only worked on that mousepad and any bit of dust or gunk on the sensor or the pad caused it to jump around or not move at all. The buttons were nice and clicky though.
Today I would just get a PS-2 to Amiga adapter though most of them aren't very good either.
