You have my eternal gratitude!
I really love IBM stuff from this period. I found this mouse at an estate sale. It badly needed some love!

2:13 ... wow. The rubber ducky is the cherry on top. Wonder if it's related to The Ducktor. 7:19 hello Windows 3.1, it's been a while.

What has always beffled me, is that the rubber coating on the ball of the mice never perish. Whatever that coating was used should have been used on everything. 😂

... aaaand... I now know where rubber ducky in your latest video comes from. Very cute. You should give him a name, if he doesn't already have one, and keep featuring him. That logitech chip is huge. Almost doesn't even fit in the mouse. And that last part of the video is like ASMR, all those clicky sounds of the mouse, the clunky switches... very satisfying.

I just need to figure out how to get him to float upright in very soapy water LOL.

Way to sweep them mines! Not gonna lie, I was a little nervous at the beginning of the video waiting for you to roll that mouse ball over the top of that OSB workbench. Glad to see you treated it with due care. 😊 I can’t believe that cleaned up so well. Brings back some memories. Great video!

Wow, I bought a copy of OS/2 that came with this mouse. Installed it on my PS/1 386SX/20 with...hmm...2 MB of RAM? That handsome little box booted to the desktop in about 13 minutes, and I loved it.

I remember these mice - hated using them! We received 6 PS/2 ValuePoint 466 PCs at college in 1995/6 and they had these...but they were pretty solid! I much preferred the later model.

I wonder if someone was crazy enough to make conversion electronics to make this an IBM PS/2 Optical Mouse?
