Not to mention scraping all the gunk off the rollers.
All the human slime is just between the buttons now and never gets cleaned
Lies.
I clean it every two years!
we always sprinkled paprika on ours.
Mine were so overcooked, they tasted like cooked rubber :(
It was always so satisfying to get it off in one single strip
I was working in a facility with about 400 desktops when we made the move to laser mice. I remember it fondly. Cleaning was worse than the theft, but both were obnoxious.
Oh, the “hand cheese”
how about having to glue the bottom on hundreds of mice so school kids dont steal/throw them at each other.
core memory unlocked
also using hard drive magnet to discolour CRT screens
And the satisfaction of a good degauss afterwards
yeah that button was a game changer, honestly wouldn’t even bother if the school had those.
We had to rub them face down on the carpet to get them somewhere close to normal.
Were you the admins at my grade school? Because I may or may not have been responsible for that…
I remember being in 4-5th grade and learning about graphs. Specifically x & y coordinates. One day while cleaning the mouse ball before playing Joust or whatnot I noticed two little geared spindle thingy’s. I vividly remember it clicking that those gears were translating the physical mouses x&y to the screens cursor’s x&y.
You’re all liars because no one has mentioned the smell.
Use common sense! You think nerds changed their egg out on time?
I gave my technically illiterate father a led mouse for Christmas just as they became the normal, and it was like a miracle to him.
I read that lead, gotta finish my coffee…
I still use a trackball, so I still have to overcook egg yolks weekly.
Lol I used to take the balls out as a prank, see how long the teacher would wiggle it and check the cable before they flipped it lol.
anyone remember that brief period before led mice got good, where you’d have to SLAM the mouse in a direction to get it to comply?
Rubber mice, that was a given sometimes, but led mice had the same issue for a bit
Yes exactly this, though I’m not sure if it was just a habit from using rubber mice
Not sure I’ve experienced that, early led mouse always seemed to fail to track at the speeds I like to swipe.
hence the slamming!
It feels more like moving at a snails pace for me, any faster made them lose track
Overcooled egg is yum gum.
I always thought the brown egg yolks worked best.
I used to use a stationary mouse. I had to clean it out all the time.
