A mouse. One of those black fellers with the Amiga logo on it.

I just bought one of these from softhut last week, you can get them in white or black, the microswitches work fine on it

The switches are sound - I've owned it for a long time, but it has never been used as I aquired two and never had a need to use it. The pic's a bit out of focus (I couldn't be arsed to take it again), but it can be said to be mint condition.

These mice are very poor quality. Especially the button switches start to wear out and bounce soon.

If you like to collect items with Amiga logo on it, well.

But if you want a new mouse for daily use you should rather look for a standard PS/2 mouse and an adapter like the Topolino3 or Cocolino.

Bye,

I'm using one of these mouse daily for a period of 4 or maybe 5 years without a problem at all.
The only problem is that it has started to shine from use.
never had a prob from buttons but then again I can desolder and solder some new microswitches.. they are very common here this type.
Also its very smooth and has decent dpi unlike the older commodore/amiga ones.

Gotta disagree there.  The preggy mouse is the best mouse that Commodore has ever made and makes ones like this feel cheap and innacurate.

Hi,I saw that one on E-Bay.But just won mouse and external modulator from Amiga 500.I'm hoping mouse will work OK on my A1200,cos the one I got with 1200 (Naksha)seems half dead-only moves pointer to left+right.

Those AT mice are crap!  I have one and it does not roll right.  On the computer the pointer jumps and sticks a lot, but the mouse rolls fine.  Is that common for these?  I agree the C= pregnant mouse and the Boing! mouse (Optical 3 button) are the best! (Own both!)
