I was looking at Reddit the other day, on one of those r/flippingamazing type subs, and someone posted a picture of a disassembled mechanical mouse, to show off the wonders of 1900s engineering. I tell you I nearly spat out my false teeth. Had to take a Geritol to calm myself down.
- Aeolun 4y agoWhat are we talking about when we say mechanical mouse? One with one of them balls in?
- robinsonb5 4y agoYes indeed* - I still use and prefer those to this day: I like the extra weight and slight inertia that comes from the rolling ball. (It's OK, I know I'm a dinosaur!) (* They're more correctly called opto-mechanical since the movement sensing is done by way of a slotted disc interrupting light beams.)
