I've always used the Logic 3 Speed Mouse on my classics since I was a kid, so much nicer than the bundled Commodore mouse:

I have always had discomfort with Classic Amiga mice. On My Sam and PC's I use a Logitech Trackman wheel. On the rare ocasion I start up my A1200 the cocolino allows me to use the same Trackman wheel. Trust me it feels GOOD. _________________ Sam460ex : Radeon Rx550 Single slot Video Card : SIL3112 SATA card |

For me the Amiga Technologies mice, in white or black, were the handiest "original" Amiga mice. |

| Always used the Naksha (spelling?) mouse on my classic setup. It was very good back then and still have a working one here.

In terms of durability, I'd take the tank. In terms of style, I'd take the "pregnant." In terms of all-out coolness, I'd take the Alfa-Data glowing Crystal Trackball. _________________ I sold my SAM460ex lite... waiting for money to buy a Raspberry Pi... or a Classic A1000 with Buffee... or an A1222... and OS4.3 FE update 11 |

Anyone know why these adapters are so expensive, like $45, when a Rasberry Pi only costs $25?

I also like the Amiga Technologies mice (I still have 2 in white, that I would be using if my 1200 was working ). _________________

The first production run of Raspberry Pi was 10,000 units. If it was produced in the same volumes as Amiga bits and pieces it would probably cost somewhere in the region of $150 to $200. |

| I had the 2 mouses.. and others.
But "The Tank" is nice for me. Back in time, not like too much, but now, works fine for the Classics.

| I voted for the tank because the newer amiga-mouses where for right-handed so i hated it while using it, but it was more comfortable for the hand if you had to use it for long times.
Now i am using new neutral-mouses on my amigaone's.

Agreed the AT mice were cool and reasonably ergonomic. Pretty good micro-switches unlike my Eclipse mouse that I've had to swap the micro-switches with Maplin switches they were so bad!! _________________ "Art challenges technology.
