mechanical mouse

Wow.. I just remember about the mechanical mouse...

So many memories. I wonder if some people still use it today?

I thought we called these ball mouses. But anyways I don't think I ever used one or if I did it was a very long time ago. The ball is handy if someone is annoying you, you can just throw it at them.

truthfully, those things were always kinda jank, even back in the day. the sensor mouse is just so much better

(side note: is the plural term for a computer mouse still “mice”?)

I remember seeing one in the house of an aunt, like 6 years ago.

I like how heavy they are. They aren't too bad to daily drive, you just have to take the ball out and clean it every few months. They definitely can get more nasty than optical mice though..

I have a Dell one for my windows xp setup, it's alright even though it took some getting used to for Half-Life. If there's a ball mouse I would get it would be the Corvette mouse
