The humble computer mouse. It's an item we take for granted. We use it to navigate around our GUI. But there's an altogether darker use for the mouse, a use that may have slipped us by, but could have easily changed our lives for the worse (or better, depending on the outcome). In this video, I explore promotional novelty mice, and their effect on our lives.

I feel like this started as a social commentary and then just turned into an excuse to look at silly mice. 10/10
This comment made me laugh harder than I'm comfortable admitting.
Isn't it ironic for a channel centered around computer stuff to do social commentary, though?
I like the mouse, the water should have little plastic gold fish in it ! Aquarium Mouse ! :-)
Kinda did, not gonna lie
@@Nostalgianerd YOOOOO WHERE CAN I GET THAT SICK HOODIE??
You have no idea how omnipresent drug advertisements really are here in the states. Tv, radio, billboards, sides of buses, clothing, i could go on. Dystopic doesn't begin to describe it. It's like Robocop without the sarcasm.
A few months ago I was watching a twitch stream until they had a sponsored segment... sponsored by a painkiller... that is a hard no-go for me
True story. The way I remember it, when I was growing up (70s/80s) there was just no such thing. Then there was common purpose drugs being advertised to the public ("Ask your doctor about...") like viagra, heart disease, blood pressure, etc. and now it's absolutely insane. I've seen commercials for chemotherapy drugs, stuff for really specific skin diseases, one for a liver disease I had to look up, never heard of it before...
In Poland you can have a whole ad segment on TV made of drug or supplement commercials. And the most annoying is that they often adverise some really unappetizing medications during meal time, like the drugs against: diarrhea, constipation, vaginal fungus, oily hair, foot fungus, irritable bowel syndrome, eye warts, face zits, hemorrhoids, butt ulcers, bad breath, incontinence and other gross stuff. Not to mention all sorts of painkillers, antidepressants, erection boosters, sleeping pills, anti-stress drugs, drugs against looking old, having too much or too little water in your organism, being too or not enough .... It's like a third of our ads. Reminds me of the song "pills" by St. Vincent.
Could say they filled the void cigarettes once had.
We can thank George W. Bush for deregulating all that. He signed the bill. I am sure no lobbyists were involved.
I worked at Goodwill, a thrift store in America, and we once got three boxes of mice like that. They were for some random company.
3 whole boxes?! Thatâs a lot. What other weird things did you find that people would donate?
I built my first computer in 1981 and in all of these years on working on computers AND going to Goodwill, Salvation Army, thrift stores, I have NEVER SEEN a single one of these mice! This is my first time! I kinda' want one or two now...đ
@@arthurmann578
I've seen them a couple times in thrift stores.
One was a soccer themed mouse, with a soccer ball in the liquid.
@@shawbros I'm definitely going to keep my eyes out for them now! đđ
The mouse with actual instant coffee in it would be wonderful... need a little perk for the afternoon ? Sprinkle your mouse into a glass of water ! :-)
My dad had one of those metal shrouded mice... by the time he was done through it he had worn through multiple layers of metal. You could get a matching mousepad for it as well.
I love collectibles with floaty stuff and water inside. The Fedex one is pretty cute.
There's something exceedingly disgusting about a drug company giving branded products to doctor's kids in an effort to get them to prescribe their drugs.
They did that to cigarettes before, actually.
Drug companies are 75% of all advertising dollars in the US. Not 75% of the commercials overall that you see but 75% of the money spent. They spend more money per commercial because they are not buying just the commercial, they are buying influence and good news countries by filling the MSM pockets.
Watch the coverage from the MSM on the vaccine and alternative treatments on COVID.
According to the MSM there is only one option... The vaccine.. vitamins, weight loss, exercise is all pointless. You have to get the vaccine according to them.
It's hard to have freedom when you are owned by someone.
And even Oxycontin, too! đ
Itâs not unlike public schools having all of these unhealthy snacks available for children to buy-these companies want you to get started as early as possible so you make their products a part of your lifestyle, including instilling brand loyalty. It is so predatory.
@@nessamillikan6247 Which is why some countries in Europe actually banned advertisements aimed towards children.
As a child of a doctor in the 90s in the USA. Yes. They got me. I used so many drug company pens and pads at school for notes and I think I even had a lunch bag. Never got a mouse though...
My mother works at a state mental hospital(she's about to retire in the next year, or so), and in the late 90's, and early 00's she would bring home all kinds of drug rep crap like pens, staplers, note pads, clocks, flash lights, mini pocket knives, pen holders, stuffed knock off Beanie Babies, etc., and I still have some of it like a blue stapler that stands upright for Viagra đ€Ł(serious though trying to sell Viagra to a mental hospital where some of them are criminals in padded rooms, come on Pfizer WTF?!?!), but yeah never got a mouse either.
@@CommodoreFan64 One of my coworkers ate like 10 bluechews on a shift on a job where it's literally only men. not sure why he wanted to have a raging carrot around a bunch of men but I guess that is his business.
i kept a viagra tie as a backup in case i didn't dress up on thursdays for catholic school church. you couldn't tell what it was unless you were looking. which one teacher did and banished me from wearing it again. but yes -- drug rep pens, squishy balls, bags, clocks, desktop toys, all kinds of this stuff.
@@braidena1633 I used to own a custom printed T Shirt that had the twin towers at the moment of the second impact with the giant fireball shooting out of the tower and the billowing pillars of smoke.
There's a difference using a shitty pen with a fading brand and actually advocating anything about that brand.
Kinda tabloid levels of outrage in this section.
I remember accompanying my mother to pharma conferences and going around for swag. It was a lot of fun. These conferences were much more about the science, my mother being a chemist. So all the people there were nerds at heart who geeked out about their meds and exchanged tons of nerdy swag.
I used to work in a doctor's office, this was during the heydey of the pharmaceutical swag era before any sort of (even weakened/watered down) regulation was put in place and BOY HOWDY did we get showered with all sorts of things. Unfortunately our local drug reps must have been pretty boring, because we only got the typical stuff: usually pens and notepads, sometimes t-shirts and hats, the occasional tote or duffel bag. Never got any mice tho. I still have quite a few pens and notepads scattered around the house. They do come in handy.
But yeah I do remember quite a lot of those really weird mouse shapes.
P.S.: It's a good thing they didn't make the M&M mouse round like an actual M&M, otherwise you'd have something akin to the horrid Apple "puck" mouse of the early iMac days. That M&M mouse looks actually usable by contrast.
Its gotten worse today, but its more on the sense of what to recommend, instead of "have a free product". Ads alone in the U.S.A. are roughly 14 billion a year, you would hope you'd atleast get a free mouse, something with more than 400dpi.
The NHS was flooded with free USB sticks from companies. They were told not to use them since the ones provided to them officially had security measures but the free ones didn't.
With one or two expensive exceptions, security features on USB drives were essentially bundled security software of very low value. Would make more sense for NHS to install equivalent software on all the PCs and treat the drives like blank floppy disks.
"Can you imagine using this Viagra mouse for any length of time?"
Well, maybe for 4-8 hours, but then I'd have to ask my doctor.
Yes, it would be quit HARD to use the viagra mouse. đ
It would probably give you carpal tunnel and make your wrist all stiff
As the son of two doctors my childhood in the 90s and early 00s was filled with promotionals like those.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 why are you like this? I hardly think this is the place for that rhetoric. We are here for looking at fun relics of a bygone Era, not to discuss politics and flawed reasoning. Don't be an ass and just have fun.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 go away
@@PondScummer so drug companies pushing perscription medication is evil? But once it's a new rushed vaccine all is forgiven?
My mom was a nurse and we had all different kinds of stuff branded with drug names lol
In the 90's (in the UK) i had a friend who's parents were both doctors (very rich ones who owned multiple doctor surgeries) and these promotional items were very common. I have seen promotion items such as stress balls, telephones, computer mouse's, computer disks and so on. It was very common back in the day.
I was one of those kids who the drug company "gifts" reached. My dad was a doctor, and he would only accept the gifts that he thought I would enjoy taking apart, which I always did. I was especially delighted to play with the rotary dampers in the automatically opening calculators
My brother did exactly the same thing with the stuff my folks brought home from the med companies⊠all they ended up doing was nurture a budding industrial engineer đ we never run out of branded pens and paper pads at home
I knew one boy in secondary school who had a racing car mouse. He insisted against all evidence it was actually more ergonomic than regular mice.
@Jay Dee I appreciate your commitment to car appreciation! However, mice and cars have different requirements for their shape :P
As a recovering heroin addict, I want an OxyContin mouse and hat so much I could pop.
The mouse ball cleaning skills are still very much at the front of my head because I still use a trackball because of limited desk space
Look at elecom, they have a both types of corded trackball. Someone said the wireless versions have radio issues but I got the corded one. You'd only need cordless for couch MMC stuff.

with the DPI you can get on mice these days all you need is about 2 inches of movement if that
I used to work as a developer at a company that did systems and support for community mental health agencies here in the US. This crap is everywhere even now, especially with the anti-psychotics. My father (who is a network administrator) actually has quite a collection of the mental health swag heâs picked up over the years from various doctors. Some of the things are sort of cool like his oversized paper clip.
The drug reps come in with food and then leave this trash after they do their spiel to whoever shows up. Unfortunately, maybe not necessarily the specific pieces of swag, but the methods overall, do work.
Can confirm. I worked desktop support for a hospital system for 5 years. "swag" everywhere but mostly in the trash later.
It's because they said Oxycontin was non addictive but gave the same results as morphine. They told doctors you didn't have to worry.
It's always a lie, but that's how it goes. Morphine was a safer alternative to ether. Heroin (Literally name with hero in the word.) Was supposed to be less addictive form of that. Then there was oxyies.
I hate how âlower side effectsâ gets spun as âno side effectsâ so often. âLower incidence of dependencyâ becomes âitâs addiction-proof!â Marketing is such a dubious profession
oxcodone wasnt a problem either til they made it long release. Same with MS-contin morphine
Yeah, I remember once seeing a bottle of cough syrup from the early 1900s, and written on the label was: Now with Heroin! Non-addictive!
Be careful, you are learning from the same information machine as what misled everyone in the first place.
Yeah, we all get it. Big pharma as a corporation can be pretty evil/corrupt. But read the room man, most people are reminiscing about their childhood or light-hearted jokes about it. I'm high as shit enjoying reading similar feelings of nostalgia from my childood and here comes President Buzzkill to somehow instantly sober a good high. Corporations can suck, but I'm sure the chemists or people who invent the pharma aren't trying to get patients "hooked" for profit or destroy a country.
I got a lot of fun stuff that my mom brought home from reps. I had a rubber nose that looked like it was full of snot that came out a little when you squeezed it. Also had a pen shaped like a bone that was pretty cool. The neatest was a little moving picture thing that you looked into and showed an h-pilori attacking a stomach or something. I think that one came with a pretty metal looking t-shirt.
At first I thought "How is this a topic for a 20 minute video?" and then I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer variety of crappy mice! Enjoyed that one. đđ»
Sometimes I watch a video where they only talk about something for 30 seconds and the video is definitely clickbait but this video felt like they gave the mouse a long enough time talking about it that I don't feel clickbaited and then he went on to talk about other things that made the video even cooler so he kind of undersold the video.
Fitting upload because I just got a new mouse myself. Logitech G604.
EDIT: AND THOSE ARE MY EXACT ANTIDEPRESSANTS, PAXIL CR.
Holy shit. I had one of those KitKat mice on my very first PC as a child, I have no idea where I got it though. It was literally the mouse I used every day from like 2000-2002.
I remember seeing drug company reps coming into my doctors office and meeting with my doc before my appointment. This also worked in my favor because my doctor knew I was poor with bad insurance and would give me "samples" of some drugs I might need.
"Hey kid, I know you are poor so here's a bunch of free addictive... I mean "non-addictive" drugs, come back next week for some more!"
Naturally the guitar pedal mouse should be operated with the foot.
Did you cut out a section about lighting a Terminator 2 cigarette with a Lucky Strike lighter (since it's still in the subs)?
I have one of these liquid filled mice. When you actually use it it warms up under your hand and starts leaking it's oily stuff.
So... the more you fondle it the slipperier it gets. :)
My aunt works in drug marketing, I've been flipping pancakes with a zocor branded spatula for like 15 years. It's so weird the objects they choose to brand, like zocor is a heart pill so maybe you're supposed to flip your healthy low fat meals with your zocor branded spatula? Idk, I don't get it.
The weirdest pharma promotional stuff I've heard of was blue viagra branded santa hats my friend's dad got sent years ago. Way more memorable than pens or notepads!
I have Moderna COVAX condoms
Viagra had a picnic blanket, not a bad one either AFAIK it's still going the one mum and dad got. Bath towels but I can't remember which painkiller that was off the top of my head. Oxycodone pill that's a pencil case, I've been using that one since high school. So many damn pens, mouse mats, 3 and 4 ring folders... the CDs, which weren't always bad to have since some of the tracks could be lesser known but decent pieces to listen to (alcohol companies did that one too along with video games). IIRC it was chlorhexidine that did a scarf and beanie combo one time but I'm going off colour scheme as the name actually wasn't on either.
There's something just unsettling and sinister about companies trying to get you to wear a fishing hat with Oxycontin on it.... litterally synthetic heroin.
It's not literally synthetic heroin, they're just both opioids (They're both semi-synthetic opioids - heroin derived from morphine, oxycodone derived from thebaine or whatever it's called). The funny thing is, in the grand scheme of things, heroin isn't that strong compared to many other opioids mg to mg; people just think it is because it's a "street drug." it also doesn't work well orally (while things like Oxycodone and Hydrocone do).
Your point stands, just wanted to correct that and add some stuff.

Having fallen for the slightly clickbaity title, I can promise you that, having worked for a pharmaceutical in the uk, the link between profit and health was very much alive and kicking when I worked for the sales department some 15 years ago. From promotional items not un-similar to this right through to GPs being wined and dined to encourage them to ârememberâ one brand over another⊠it happened all the time and was absolutely systematicâŠ. I even remember spreadsheets that linked quantities of drugs prescribed to the postcodes of surgeries as a rough means to determine success rate of sales practices (some GPs were much more âpliableâ than others for sure) and this would feed back into more/less vigorous activity from reps. Maybe things have changed? Somehow doubt it.
The only mouse I ever tried to use like this was a Star Trek Phaser mouse.
I actually lowkey love the pens and mugs and these mouse given free by the rx companies. They always had the coolest designs, even if I didnât want to promote a med for ED or something, I still used them for the design alone đ€·đœ
The car mouse reminded me of a *very* cheap mouse shaped like a car I had for about 2 years before it up and died. Also the guitar peddle mouse was reviewed by LGR iirc!
The pen dumps by the regional rep got me through high school without ever needing to pay for a new pen.
LGR also did an identical Viagra racecar mouse.
Another excellent episode, I was smiling all the way through. I honestly didnât realise there was such a variety of promotional mice. It doesnât surprise me that drug companies were involved, theyâll do anything to persuade you to change to the latest version of their ultra expensive products.
Those mice with liquid in them remind me of my wireless PS2 controller I used to have with liquid in both handles that blue LED lights could shine into. It was really cool.
11:00 Good lord, I miss that M&M's screensaver. Staple of my childhood right there.
I have that âMouse Driverâ book about the design of that mouse.
Those weird shaped ones are bought and used by old people.
"Hey Grandpa why are you using a mouse shaped like a banana?"
Grandpa "because it's funny"
we truly are trapped in a mortal purgatory far worse than hell
That KitKat mouse was my mouse around 99/2000 or so, the memories! I've settled on a Logitech G402 now, but shockingly recently due to being too tight to buy a decent mouse, I was using a novelty mouse shaped like a sports car (with working lights). My wrist was absolutely buggered.
most companies have cheesy promotional items, esp at trade shows back when those were really important.
I have to admit, with the coffe mouse, they actually made a pretty convincing looking fake coffee.
I like how you've outdone LGR with the number of weird mice in one video :D
My dad had one of these mice back in the day, it was for some cruise company and had a little ship inside
i had one of those silver mice, it would electrocute me any time i tried using it. thing was the pc was well grounded! that mouse sucked hardcore.
how many times did you die?
This video hit me really hard into the nostalgia. Most of my first contact with tech stuff where through this kind of merc. Mouses, mousepads, usbs, cds, and all that kind of stuff. The 90ÂŽs: So near and still so far! Thank you for the vid!
I have a love/hate relationship with my Paxil prescription. On the one hand, it fucks up so much of my life. On the other hand, I would literally be dead with out it. For some insane reason, I want this mouse. To the eBay!
Never cease to amaze me how you could collect all these fantastic hardware devices. Well done!!
KUDOS for the in video guitar/pedal demo
On a sort of side related note per cigarettes promotion it wasnât THAT long ago that companies such as Philip Morris (Marlboro) sent out glamourous assistants and GAVE AWAY cigarettes and rather snazzy lighters to students on a night out. Thinking back it seems unreal but yes it definitely happened to us in sheffield university, England. I wonder when it was outlawed?!?
6:26 the moment that boss DS-1 pedal mouse appeared it blew my mind.
my mom had an optical mouse with kaj stenvall artwork from some medicine company around '00. it was a quality item for the time too, optical mice being new at the time and that artwork license not being the lowest end as far as artwork licenses go.
I didn't know the NN could play the guitar that well. This guy is wholesome!
Yes I remember the naughties being pharm paradise in Cleveland. I was on Prozac for almost 10 years, until it was banned finally.
Can't wait to see wtf this is about lol
Ditto
What kind of drugs đ€
@@AMKR4Lyfe I was disappointed. I thought he had come across a mouse that was used for cartel drug smuggling or something
I worked as a developer in a company that did devices for drug research etc. We had a certain blue pill mouse (not car shaped, the liquid filled one). They didnât let me take it unfortunately :(
The mouse, I mean. Not the pills.
I had forgotten about your channel until i today when i watched one of "Lady Decade" and she sort did small mention of you lol. Love your channel, specially the 80's software ones.
I worked in an NHS surgery in the late 90s. There was so much promotional stuff from pharmaceutical companies, it was mostly pens and notepads, tbf. Never saw any mice.
Man, my first distortion pedal was a Boss DS-1 purchased circa 1993. I would totally love to have that mouse. As impractical as it is there's no denying it's awesome.
Loved this one, keep up the great work
I love how every drug commercial in America is basically a grinning person moving in slow motion and doing random things
The best drug ad I've ever seen is for an ED (not viagra) treatment, two guys dressed as concert pianists, walk onto the stage and drop their strides and underwear then apparently play the piece with their dicks. AFAIK it's a strictly Australian one.
Our health care system is trash. I've had major illnesses due to not having Insurance. I'm one of the lucky ones now, I get to pay 100 a week for health insurance and still pay co-pays and pay for prescriptions.
That's the thing about our US health system, the quality of care can be second to none, only if you can afford it, or you're a single mother with 4 kids each with a different baby daddy living off the government tit while all the rest of us hard working people who just get by pay for their freeloading. đ€Ź
It's not for everyone, but for me, I've found out just paying my Dr. out of pocket, and so far the one prescription I'm on(the res is OTC) is cheaper than insurance.
@@CommodoreFan64 wait, are you implying Medicare/Medicaid is the same quality as the people who can afford the best insurance or just pay out of pocket for the best doctors?
@@kaitlyn__L He's also implying people who can't work don't deserve health care. something something social cleansing
My second job out of college was for a small salesforce automation company which had contracts for major US pharmaceutical companies. I worked on the help desk for one of the clients where we had access to a couple client laptops for when we needed to walk through procedures and to regularly familiarize ourselves when you updates were pushed. We could see a lot of stuff about their promotions including the swag of this nature. So many items and it was all about which companies reps could throw the most at the prescribing physicians.
There was also a fun story about them committing to using Newtons to collect Dr signatures when they left samples and 1 to 2 weeks later Apple announced the end of the product line.
This is both very sad at multiple levels, and outright hilarious. My favourite type of Nostalgia Nerd video.
I had the M&M mouse and used it for quite long, when I remember correctly. I just loved such things as a kid.
I had one of those Ambien plushies... Amazing stuff.
A perfect "product placement" you did there with the lucky strike gum package
'Pointy-faced bastard' has had me giggling for 10 minutes
as a guitarist, the boss pedal mice would look nice on a shelf.đ»
Humph, I was really hoping that silversmith mouse in the thumbnail was going to be a flask. My hopes and dreams are dashed, dashed I say!
Any chance of doing a nostalgia nerd tour around England with a few other youtubers like Mark fixes stuff, the retro hour group, RMC? Etc...pretty sure a lot of us will put our hands in our pocket to pay for venues and such
The local doctors game my mum a bunch of drug branded tea towels, which she gave to me when I moved into my own place. They really suck, they don't pick up any water, and leave lint on any surface they touch.
Oh wow that nascar mouse brings me back. My grandma had one because Marc Martin was her favorite driver. It was super uncomfortable.
My uncle (in Spain) owns a pharmacy, and this stuff is very much still distributed. Pretty much every item of stationery, mugs, stressballs, clocks, bluetooth speakers all have medicine brand names on them.
This reminded me of a flash drive I had in the late 00s. I dont remember how I got it, but it was branded for an IBS medication. I used it for school and covered up the branding with colored tape. I still do have an Adobe branded USB hub shaped like a rainbow Tangle toy, and yes, it does twist around like a real Tangle.
Youâre back!!! Iâm so happy!!!
Dude that AOL hoody is awesome!!!
I was going to buy one of those Wallace Silversmiths mice for my Win 98 laptop since it didn't work with USB... realized it would bother me how easily it tarnished though
"The Viargra NASCAR Mouse"
There's a set of words I wasn't expecting to be put together.
17:39 suddenly I have flashbacks to the little tykes car mice that a certain tech CZcamsr used to dominate people on Unreal Tournament.
Having had several close relatives working in the NHS I'm quite familiar with the promotional mugs, key-fobs etc. but had never seen one of those mice before. I do have a lighter with dice in its gas chamber though, these have appeared round here quite recently.
I've got one from a vendor that is USB and optical that has "fish" in it. I use it as my loaner mouse.
Bizarly I found this a very entertaining and funny mouse review/round-up video đđ
Brings back memories of stashing certain small items inside joysticks in the 90s.
we had a friend who would go to some conference every year in Vegas that was just blocks and blocks of CPS (cheap plastic...stuff), tons of electronic peripherals like this. We used to get so much swag like this from him.
When I saw the mousedriver I instantly thought of the Razer naga for some reason, something about the shape reminds me of it
Beyond niche! Bravo!!!
My dad was a pharmacist since the early 80s and my best friend's mom was a drug rep for Purdue (oxycontin company). I've seen some crazy things over the years.
I REALLY want that boss guitar pedal mouse omg!
Okay, one thing I wasn't expecting was you to be so good at the guitar, you released any compositions yet?
That distortion pedal mouse was actually pretty cool
I don't why but I'm really into these retro stuff!
Im really glad you tried to dissolve the Nescafe
I have that silver mouse somewhere up in my roof, mines not engraved but still in the box. It got used for a few months before being replaced with one of the early microsoft laser mice.
Such great sponsorship
my mum works at a gp's surgery and whenever a sales rep for a drug company or from the nhs she would sometimes bring back thinks like that... I had a mousepad with some floaty bits with a name of the drug or whatever on it.
I need the antidepressant mouse when my team is throwing competitive matches.
Growing up the in the states, my dad a a pharmacist (chemist) and it never struck me as odd that all of the notepads in the house had drugs advertisements on them.
Worked in a pharmacy and used to collect that merch. Lots of crazy stuff. Never got that mouse though.
The only promotional VW item I have is a nice steel Quill brand ballpoint pen. Smooth AF.
