The king of all mice?
« on: October 01, 2007, 09:56:13 PM »
Hello again,

I managed to get an Alpha Data optical mouse and would like to know if this is a good mouse.
Anyone else got one of these?

Heres the link:

Well I was after real opinions so if it's crap then so be it. Reason I bought this is because of nostalgia plus to boast that I could have had the best mouse designed for Amiga. I guess that it isn't great but no doubt it's one of the first of this type and you got to start somewhere.

But this Amiga -> PS/2 converter, I have a wireless laser mouse that also has a USB -> PS/2, would that work with 2 adapters or will it work for only "pure bread" PS/2 mice? I gather wireless pure PS/2 ones will work ok?

Nice one thanks! Oh and about the dog, best to use it on his/her underbelly. Directions shouldn't matter then as-long as its quick and constant. :lol:

If only my cat didn't go missing... :-(

Just got one of them adapters. £15 with a floppy, not exactly cheap for what it is but should be worth while, I hope! :-)

[EDIT] Recived the optical mouse althought it's good enough when it's on the mat but overall it's pretty crap lol.
