Which is your favourite mouse?

Which is your favourite mouse and why? How can you tell if a modern mouse is OS9 compatible?

[FdB]

I’ve got a lot of miles (and many years of use) out of the plain old Apple ADB II mice and they’ve held up surprisingly well. I like the clear & black USB Pro Mouse simply for aesthetics and the Apple A1152 for everyday use. (The ADB MicroSpeed trackball was used extensively pre-OS 9.) All my favorites… depending upon their individual use. Of course, DAW-fiends may have other preferences.

As for “modern mice” I assume that you might mean non-Apple varieties? (Sorry, no help there.)

Wasn't Mighty Mouse always going into he's cocaine bag?

Got to be my favorite mouse.

Oh, wait, that's not the kind of mouse you were asking about

[dr bu]

No? What was i asking? Oh new mice..i was thinking about drivers/windows/dpi something even usb koans. i found a deltaco at the goodwill close to weightless and working fine on my "modern" HP talking debian but no cigar for my babies ha ha.
else my close servant is mr red macally 3 button. could use 4.

Same as FdB... I like the ADB Mouse II and USB Pro Mouse (which I also use on my Windows machine).
The lead on some of the Pro Mice is too short though.

I like the clear/black usb pro which works fine for me but on my DAW rig I mostly use a wireless thumb/trackball model.

Occasionally have also been known to use this direct-connect interface
(utilizing brow movement for click-drag-select functions and eye movement
for tracking) in conjunction with a custom SCSI port cerebral implant interface.
I just think this all works better? (Only recently considering a USB upgrade.)

As for any possible Coca-Cola, Freud and/or Mighty Mouse relationships…
perhaps best examined later? (Noted penchant here for the Owsley eye drops.)

Okay, it was just a little quiet around here… mea culpa.

my favourite mouse isn't a mouse, but USB Overdrive with a(ny) 3 button/wheel specimen
(me sticking to a classic Logitec oldie, probably for being used to it for ages)
Refusing that wheel thing just for the sake of 'being different' was a severe fault by Apple imho.
USB Overdrive always saves my day when audio edit is on schedule - makes it so fast and effortless.

I use the Apple ADB II mouse with a Griffin iMate. I have 3 such adapters. If I see them on a second hand site or a second hand store, I buy them because they become difficult to find. The Apple ADB II mouse is still the best. I prefer this over a laser mouse, because a laser mouse is like electrical scissors. You have more control with real scissors.

I quit using the ADB mouse.

Logitech M90 for my G4 (uses 100 mA).
Logitech M-UV 96, rebranded as Fujitsu-Siemens, for my XP laptop (uses 100 mA).
Microsoft Optical Mouse 200 for my W10 notebook (uses 98 mA).
The M90 is a faster mouse than the M-UV 96, OK for a large screen.

M100 here (can you still buy M90 new? they felt better)
