  • Did you know the first computer mouse looked like a wooden box with pizza cutters attached to it? How did we get from that to the laser-based RGB mice we know and love today?

      Good Lord did I hate trackball's. I remember finding optical Belkin mice at Big Lots for a decent price and never went back. Though the thick cords still sucked and would frequently get tangled up to the point where I ditched wires once wireless optical mice came on the market.

    • @abcmole
      @abcmole Před 6 lety +54

      I used mine so much I wore the trackball down on one side and it would slide and not roll . Strangely it was cheaper to buy a new mouse than to buy a replacement trackball, which was like double the price. I miss CompUSA.

    • @razvanmiracom
      @razvanmiracom Před 6 lety +22

      Optical/laser mice also need cleaning. Or at least the cheap ones that have no teflon feet do. Gunk sticks to the plastic feet and the mouse won't slide properly if not cleaned.

      ​@@420sakura1 lol that’s the exact opposite of the truth, find a good razor laptop and use that with mac os if you have to. Mac's only good point is their software and ecosystem, the hardware they use is extremely prone to failure with expensive replacement costs, and most failures can just be avoided with small changes. Apple as a company would rather put a ticking time bomb in your hardware then make it responsibly because they know that you will end up giving them more money when it eventually dies.
      I'm sure that as an apple fan, you would like to believe that I’m not telling you the truth. If you think so, please go watch some Louis Rossman vids on irresponsible company behavior from apple.

      Feynstein 100
      Xerox set up the Palo Alto Research Centre (PARC) in California to research what a digital office could look like (they were worried about photocopier sales). They got some great minds together and they actually come up with some amazing things - basically designed the computer of the early 90’s, but in the late 70’s.
      They showed their creations to headquarters, but the bosses didn’t understand it. Jobs heard about it, arranged to see it and then licensed the tech (and took some staff) and made the Macintosh. While looking for software developers, he showed a prototype to Gates, and the rest is history.

    Glad to see at least a photo of the Intellimouse explorer. But one of the first gaming mousr was the Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1 due to his awesome sensor MLT04, then came the Intellimouse 3.0 with a more ergonomical shape and a 9000fps MLT04. It's sad to see today now mouse producers focus more on DPI rather than the sensor itself and the FPS IMO
