Original Logitech Optical Mouse Buttons
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
For me it was Logitech that forever changed my mousing experience somewhere in early 2000. Their Logitech Optical USB mouse (this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Logitech-Optical-Mouse-But...) was the first optical mouse on the market here. It was outrageously expensive for my teenager budget, but with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and some Windows utility to tweak the OS refresh rate it gave me a real advantage in Unreal Tournament. No more gunk messing up accuracy. I used it for years and if I’d still have it, I don’t doubt that it would still work.
