Cursed computer mice

[ConfiXs]

ill start off with....whatever this is

actually those are super functional.  At least the wireless ones are.  Great for presentations, so you can stand in front of a projector and talk, while controlling a mouse without help.

So now all perfectly good milk is shit because of that one bad experience?

They have come a long way, and since there are enough to use them they also became pretty useful and good to use.
At least if you have some muscle control of your thumb that is. hahaha

I'm still not sold, I prefer to scream at the top of my lungs "NEXT" or "SHOW THIS!!!" at someone operating the powerpoint instead of doing manual labor myself

You are not supposed to lick them...

 

Roller-mice are ergonomic, and can be very accurate with trained users. I used to have mate who played fps games with roller-mouse.

You do know these aren't mice, right? May look like ones, but have very different purpose. Ofc obsolete now since we do have much better scanners than 80s and even early 90s. Actually, if we would compare to modern versions:

Hmm... I guess that's correct too. I've seen them only in use as digitizer for drawn stuff. Or digitising from serial photos. Which both are done full digitally as scanning technology has improved so much.
