And the unbranded Amiga checkmark, no longer in colours as Cloanto are trademarking that one.

The registered trademark A1200 product, is now a mouse. The silliness of this all is … astounding.

If you think of this as a way to secure the "A1200" trademark before "THEA1200" drops, then it makes sense  ;)

No it doesn't, not when they just slap it on random swag and DYI boards without having an actual A1200 product. Besides, there is no reason for any THEA1200, the THEA500 already covers it. And there is a whole bunch of other A1200 products out there already, that "infringe" this so called trademark. A1200.net cases, the A1200 BitFrost to name two, and then there's Apple's A1200.

The Amiga USB adapter that is suggested says at the bottom, "Wheel not supported except by "other" software". No different than any other USB mouse.

Well, there isn't one without the other, is there... it's kinda like Vampire and Apollo, not always so easy to see where one ends and the other begins... :)

That one is not black'n white.... it's gray. Anyways, AmigaKit says it is used "under license", and now they feature an amiga checkmark as favicon.

I have a bunch of T-shirts with the rainbow Amiga tick on, in reality very few associate it with computers, most commonly people have thought I was making a statement about my ... preferences.

Guys, it's a mouse.

Either buy it or don't.

That's all there is to it.
