Novelties are still a thing now.

For like 20 years my grandma used this ghost shaped wired optical mouse it was literally the shape of a ghost and it glowed in the dark

@@user-vn7ce5ig1z The 90s weren't only about novelties like the ones in this video, which are just for fun. There were a ton of new media formats, for example. Zip drives, Click, Jaz, LS-120, several CD formats... Lots of different ports, power sockets, network protocols and whatnot. Anyone could come up with their own thing. User interface design was in its infancy, so everyone was trying new, often crazy stuff. Nowadays, everything's pretty much standardized and matured. Physical media is near dead except maybe some USB drives, USB is the universal data interface and power socket (or wireless), networks are Ethernet, etc. The traditional home desktop computer itself is an endangered species, most everyone now uses a notebook computer or just their phone, so there's less room for crazy peripherals and stuff like that. Yes, you can still get silly mice, but it's nowhere near the craziness of the 90s.

@@naturedetectiveminecraft6362 that's so cool. i want a ghost or a burger mouse haha

@@user-vn7ce5ig1z Sure, but nowhere near as much and not to the extent as they were in those days.

Haha, that's innocuous, yet devious. And overall, hilarious!

hahaaa reminds me of when i was a kid, my dad took me to his work and i was playing games on one of the computers. i figured out how to make the image rotate 90 degrees, and walked away. later saw a lady trying to figure out how the hell to fix it .... it was hilarious.

A-grade prank. Nicely done!

Nobody has stepped up to make this yet, so I guess it's up to me. How would you like me to deliver the software to you? Also, should the sounds be hardcoded or should it be configurable? For hardcoded sounds the entire program can run from a single EXE file.

Also would work much better now that this wouldn't lag the mouse so hard. Just set it to 1000px though (or higher, depending on screen res).

Why did the sound wall trumpets sound like schitts creek opening for a second. Lol

I feel like the melody mouse was a good office prank or something to entertain the youngsters on paper but was ahead of it’s time in terms of technical requirements. Maybe if it was made for say Windows XP it wouldn’t be nearly as laggy.

If this were Reddit, I'd give you one of those free awards that you get every week or so.

I was first with that joke.

@@fl570 KZfaq will steal the feature at some point lol

@LabRat Knatz beemers are built well

@LabRat Knatz They never were. The older ones were more fun but painfully unreliable. The newer ones are better built they ever done but still very unreliable when compared to Audis or Mercedes.

Burger Time the video game. "We are closed for now"

Nah, there should be a burger mouse, slice of pizza for the keyboard, box of fries and a drink for the speakers etc lol

probably be more reliable than McDonalds milkshake machine.

Don't forget the classic Baguette typing rest!

In lieu of enough burger PC peripherals, I would enjoy a shenanigans PC that uses all the most wacky parts, case, monitor, and peripherals you can find.

There's an expert fighting game player who exclusively plays with an actual, non-reproduction PSX controller to this day, although his name escapes me. There's also the guy who showed up to a Dragon Ball Fighterz tourney with a keyboard, won games and became a legend. This wasn't a computer keyboard, mind you. He played a fighting game with a piano keyboard.

@@awkwardcultism There was also the guy that used a steering wheel accessory on a fighting game. He didn't turn the wheel or anything, rather just used the buttons as you'd expect, but it was still pretty amusing.

I used to try and use my DDR pad for fighting and racing games. Fighting was always a fun time....racing was like a damn olympic cardio test with the DDR pad.

and each row of keys is a burger layer

And add some cheesy yellow floppy discs wrapped separately in clear clingy plastic.

@@SlimBarista With those same floppies stored in one of those plastic containers Kraft made in the 90s to store cheese.

@@teh_supar_hackr I'm not familiar with those containers, but yeah I can see it would be quite fitting. Our burger themed computer set-up will never be bereft of mouth-watering ideas!

It's a lot better in the C8 (at least in 2LT and above). Although the brushed nickel looking plastic around the door and window controls seems of dubious quality.

@@TORQUENDB good, I have something to look forward to in 10 to 15 years when they depreciate enough for me to buy one. Haha. My c5's interior trim sounds like it's all screeching and fighting each other for dominance around every curve and bump.

@@jasepoag8930 I'm genuinely impressed by the overall quality so far (~7500 miles in 11 months). Only real annoyance I have are the electric door releases, they don't always release the first time.

I had a 1/2 sized usb travel mouse from IBM and it was horrible to use. Absolute finger strainer. I left it on my desk as a novelty because the scroll wheel lit up, it was cool for being small and exactly like the full sized ibm mice of the time.

Yeah now they're just useful, ergonomic, and durable :P

Yep, can confirm - Gold Plastic Syndrome is one of the more well known plastic problems we collectors face, but Cheap Plastic Syndrome is just as bad. :v

I'm sure Clint is familiar, as he appears to own a few '90s Macs in that mini warehouse of his.

Pride in your nations manufacturing is great. I myself am a huge sucker for American made tools, absolutely adore them!

@@euphoria_7477 I like American made pencils. Anything made in Asia breaks too easily, but any pencil made in the USA is god enough to sketch with, never mind write.

I was thinking the same, Probably the company that created a Melody Mouse had a surplues of cheap mouses and figure out that transforming them to a novelty thing adding a silly software would lead to a bigger profit than just selling them for pennies.

I was imagining some sort of scenario where someone said “People like multimedia. Why don’t we make a multimedia mouse?” and everyone just had to roll with it despite not having any clue what that product would actually even do.

Honestly I can think of a lot of people who would go for such a thing back then. PCs were still viewed as complicated and scary at the time, so the market was pretty overflowing with any silly little gimmick that made them seem more fun 'n friendly to Joe Average Home User.

@@hexagonist23 countless channels (and the companies behind them) would like to differ, just because they are focusing on this particular online medium, that doesn't invalidate the legitimacy of their business.

Congratulations you found our product! We arent sure how you did it, but now its yours. Enjoy, and see if you can find more easter eggs on your next playthrough.

It came from the early days of customer psychology and focus groups etc. That doing things like that would make a customer feel better about buying a product.
