We didn't have a lot of choice toward the end of the amiga popularity, 
only one replacement mouse was available, called a wizard, and the 
button were at a high angle on the front of it, very very difficult to 
press a button without the mouse moving.  Major, frustrating PITA for 
graphics drawn with a mouse.

The amiga mouse was an unusual rodent, the cable was a little heavier 
than most, and failure prone too as it was a 9 wire cable! 1 for ground, 
one for 5 volts, 2 for each axis as it was a rolling ball spinning 
individual slotted A/B quadrature design disk encoders,=6 and one for 
each button=9 total.  Its the only mouse ever built that was both 
instant when moved and instantly registered clicks as there was no 
serial or usb protocal to get in the way of fast, creative work.  Hard 
wired into the system signal by signal.

When after years of using that style of mouse, I tried the first seriel 
mouse (1200 baud IIRC) on a PC and the lag drove me to drink.  Not that 
it was that long a drive, but...  But either I did get used to it, or by 
the time I built my first linux box in late '98, it had become usable.  
I still have one left, its plugged into my TRS-80 Color Computer 3 in 
the basemant. Running at 9600 baud, negligable lag. And 10 times more 
accurate than anything Radio Shack ever sold as a CoCo mouse. I had to 
write its os9 driver of course as that was fresh, never been plowed, 
ground.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
