@@LGR If you are interested in trying out "Optimus Maximus" keyboard thingy you can look into the budget version of it called "Optimus mini three" that they released alongside with keyboard in 2007. It was a three buttoned version of it, and it's still possible to find them relatively cheaply on online auctions. But be ware, it was 15 years already and OLED technology was relatively new back in the day - those screens weren't long lasting, a lot of them have their OLED screens faded or burned out from usage.
Oh no, the Mus 3 was using a cheaply available wireless mouse from the time and gutting it for parts! I recognize the receiver, it would slide into the back of the mouse it originally belonged to for storage (flush, that's why the back of it is slanted) It had the pairing button and everything, and the range of it was genuinely 14 inches or something pathetic like that. That price was 95% for the artpiece, the actual mouse bits cost maybe $5
What, you mean a Russian government linked entity has been cutting corners and making useless statement pieces in order to oversell? I can't believe it.
Ah, of course. Why did I have a strange feeling that's what was going on with that thing and why it barely worked? Maybe it's a good thing I never bought that screen keyboard from them after all, cause DAMN did I want one of those back in the day
Art Lebedev is known for making ridiculously overpriced products. It's like their credo. That particular mouse might have been designed by an intern that had won some internal contest. Then they just found the cheapest possible supplier from China to actually build them.
It's amazing how this channel only can remind me that mix of gaming, retail stores, 80-90's furniture and pre-internet pace, and that sense of discovery mixed with oddity that came with all these devices (and games) back in the day. This is great content, it's not only informative, it really captures the period with those little details in editing and set composition and music and lighthing etc.
Was a blast to see that krimpet mouse again! When I was growing up, my grandfather had accidentally bought it when he went to the grocery store, mistaking it for the real thing somehow. They gave it to me when I came over and I ended up using it as my main pointer device for at least 5 or so years, good times.
@@kz.irudimen probably because artsy shit is always about form over function and they spend more time worrying about if it looks good than it functioning because they probably expect people to use it say its shit and then ends up as a desk ornament(e-waste
I used to work at Krogers grocery - when hostess shut down and the twinkies started disappearing, tastykake kinda stepped up to fill the void of missing snack cakes. I remember these mice and other branded things being dropped off along with standing displays for their snacks. TBH the tastykake products are pretty decent junk food
Yep, I need that Easy Bake episode now. Child me would've KILLED for that. I LOVED when games came with extra perphirals (ie, the magic lamp for the Barbie Genie game).
I had a Tonka one in that similar vein when I was a kid that was just a big steering wheel you plopped down on top of the keyboard, and my god did I love that game. I seem to remember having one that was like a work bench, too, that had levers and buttons that mimicked a saw and drill and hammering a nail and whatnot.
@@SharkNinjaBlueStar OMG, that workbench sounds amazing!!! 10 year old me would have loved that! Oh, who am I kidding, 35 years old me wants that - and I have all those things for real!!
I too had that Tonka Workbench thing, I don't know if I had the truck one too but it definitely feels familiar so I might have. As a kid it felt so impressive that this whole thing "plugs in" over your keyboard and simulated everything like that, as an adult I'm very much less mystified that "Oh... it just presses keys on your keyboard"
So apparently the TastyKake mouse was a great promo item because it's still selling boxes of cakes after like 20 years. Bet the guys who came up with it didn't expect that.
Seriously tho after seeing them and clint saying they are good I looked to see if I could find them in my area and while sadly they are not they had two products that are that look amazing enough that imma have to buy and try!
Mr. Lebedev has an obsession with "latinizing" his products' names. Usually he just adds "-us" to the end of a product name, for example you can find a micro fiber cloth at their store called "microfibrus". But "mus" is even cooler, because it's the actual Latin word for "mouse". It is pronounced something like "moose".
I can understand why Mr. Lebedev would want to "latinize" his products' names, as it can give them a more sophisticated and elegant feel. However, I think it's important to be careful with adding suffixes like "-us" or "-mus" to product names, as it can potentially lead to confusion or misunderstanding. For example, adding "-us" to a product name might not accurately reflect its Latin roots, and adding "-mus" to a product name could lead people to mispronounce it or associate it with the animal instead of the intended product. It's always a good idea to consider how potential customers might interpret a product's name before making any changes.
That Mus3 must have one of those archaic RF setups that is really meant to be used with an extension and have the dongle like 3-6" from the mouse, but that wasn't included in the box so kudos for reviewing the product as the manufacturer intended lmao.
LGR makes me happy. Spending a relaxing evening watching LGR review old tech and cool devices is complete ASMR mixed with Nostalgia Fix. Keep reviewing cool retro tech plz.
There's another Russian joke that would fit better to describe this "Mus": What's something that doesn't fly, doesn't buzz and doesn't fit in your ass? A Russian-made flying ass buzzer.
This was awesome. Watching you struggle with that goofy "artsy" mouse was absolutely hysterical. It went wrong in just about every single way a mouse can go wrong.
It's been pointed out already but really think - he went to the trouble of going to a CVS and filming there to give an overview of what they are, and also went to a supermarket to again film (and purchase) a box of the Butterscotch Krimpets, again giving an overview of what the company is and even briefly giving a food review of the cakes themselves. The effort is appreciated, especially as someone who doesn't live in North America and thus has no experience with either of these (I did know *what* a CVS is but still.)
Aging myself here, but I've been eating them since the mid-1980s and their size hasn't changed much (maybe slightly smaller?). Pretty sure the mouse is larger to be properly usable.
@@caramelldansen2204 No, products being reduced in size is usually a result of increased cost of production, not greed. Shrinking food products isn't cheap, you need all new packaging and modified recipes.
Man I'd love that Krimpet mouse, they're my favorite Tastykake snack. If Clint doesn't change the mouse cursor to look like a mouse when using the arrow mouse I'll be disappointed.
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT EASY BAKE THING! My little sister had that thing when we were kids and I completely forgot that existed. Just unlocked some memories for me. Please do that episode on it.
Around 2003, I remember saying to my "host mother" in Spain, "Where is a pharmacy? I need to get some photos developed." (I had a film camera.) Needless to say, she was very confused.
I mean they are still a pharmacy you can get your prescriptions filled but they are essentially small supermarkets too with toys and other weird stuff. You go in to get your ibuprofen and refill your prescription when you are checking out and you see a chips and coca cola and go "Ayy, I'm a bit hungry." Good ol' capitalism.
Back in the 80's my local drugstore in rural Maine had an aisle that if you stood at the end of it and turned a 360 you could see: milk, bread, wine, candy, film, and gunpowder.
LGR: And you I can use this mouse to play golf games Me: *Heavy nostalgia* Oh man, like Tiger Woods 99. LGR: *Pulls out Tiger Woods 99* Me: *Arm pump* Yes!
Just a little hint to the "incredible" arrow mouse: Blue LED on red fabric calls for bad reception by the sensor and explains a lot of the bad experience - together with the classic radio dongle wonkiness and the "incredible" mouse-button design.
I seem to remember that tastykake ran a promotion years ago when you could cut out and save vouchers then exchange for branded products including this mouse. Think they had teddybears in tastykake t shirt, mugs etc as well as other office equipment..... I think a cake shaped stapler!
My favorite bath toy, obviously that's what this video is really talking about, is the little stick up like rube Goldberg machine that we used to have in the 80s, where you can pour some water in and it would go through different pipes and whirly gigs and stuff like that, it was so fun
Despite how much the Mus3 cost, I think the most satisfactory thing I would've done is smashing it against the wall and immediately plugging in the golf ball or the the cake mouse to resume Duke Nukem 3D.
You can actually still buy this "Mus" for $16 on their online-store, but looking at posted review photos (from Russian store) they still sell their 2011 stock, with yellowed packaging and crusty batteries.
Ordered one of the Tastykake mice just a moment ago, and of course Clint has used one before. Can't wait to give it a try myself! Made me so glad to see you enjoying a krimpet!

Tastykakes is actually owned by flower's bakery based in my family's to hometown of Thomasville, GA. Super cool to see the mouse. Haha. The butterscotch krimpets are the absolute best!
Clint went back indoors... Thank God! Seeing him associated with any nature but for the XP backdrop is a trip in to the uncanniest of uncanny valleys... ...and then I saw baby Clint in the bath.
Oh man now I want some Krimpets! I've lived an hour from Philly almost all my life and am well acquainted with their goodness so it was interesting to see you try one for the first time
the shelf of "random crap" and "cheap tat" I'm sure that's the genre they were looking for. in fact, Im pretty sure thats where my mum and dad bought all my Christmas presents from.
Omg Easy Bake Kitchen! I had that playset when I was a kid! Even wore out the icing squeezer on it. The music in that game has been living rent free in my head for years.
Oh wow, never thought Lebedev's stuff was ever actually sold in US despite they've got a local office in US, considering how crappy and ridiculously pricey their products and services are. But it might be very interesting to get their Optimus Maximus keyboard reviewed, it had that crazy feeling of "fat 2000s" and worth a part in your episodee. Just note it is as expensive as crappy in quality
@@iscander_s they might have burned out shall they be used, but the keyboard itself is so crappy, all made of that thin glossy squishy plastic I'm almost sure noone could have used long enough to burn the keyscreens.
@@daemonspudguy thanks for the hint! Turns out the 3K$ one with color OLED was even not built out of shit, as the "basic" 1600 bucks model feels crappy right out of the box, don't even need to type a letter there to get to that feeling.

These 3 mouse vids lately have been fun to watch and see what unusual designs people come up with that got to market. Also LMAO about baby Clint in a bathrub at 3:14, had a good laugh upon seeing that.
Tastykake definitely exists at Walmarts in St. Louis and I'd bet more, too - pretty sure they took a lot of market when Hostess left the shelves a few years ago and there was suddenly a hole for "name-brand baked sweets".
I enjoyed hearing you eat your first Tasty Kake Krimpet and watching you play with the Krimpet mouse way too much. That was oddly satisfying. Thank you sir Clint!
the krimpets used to be wider but after the tastykake buyout they have gotten much smaller. they also have a cake called the junior which is about he size of the mouse to
Glad to see DNF 2001, I was hoping you'd do something with it, if only a blerb. Also I have seen Tastykake on the west coast, but only in Jersey Mike's restaurants.
The only Tastykake I usually see up here is usually mini donuts, Entemann's (Bimbo; yes that's really what the company is called) dominates this area, and Little Debbie/Hostess covers the rest.
Everything is Bimbo. Seriously, Bimbo owns a bunch of bigger brands like Oroweat and Sara Lee. I have seen Entemanns everywhere I have been in the US but I have never seen TastyKake products.
Most of the Bimbo products we see in Nebraska are Hispanic products in Hispanic big box groceries. Mexican cakes and pastries. I just presumed it was a Mexican brand alongside the Sangria Senorial and the Sidral Mundet. And FUD hotdogs.

the mus 3 looks like a device designed by someone who doesn't use a mouse. which is kinda peculiar coming from a design house.
maybe they just use pen-tablets 🙃
Most high end design houses make useless crap honesty, even if we speak about their website designs, theyre generally awful with very low usability and unclear
I am absolutely chomping at the bit for you to cover the easy bake game
Tastykakes is actually owned by flower's bakery based in my family's to hometown of Thomasville, GA. Super cool to see the mouse. Haha. The butterscotch krimpets are the absolute best!
Clint went back indoors... Thank God!
Seeing him associated with any nature but for the XP backdrop is a trip in to the uncanniest of uncanny valleys...
...and then I saw baby Clint in the bath.
28:18 I love puns, but that "PIECE OF CAKE" almost destroyed me! I almost laughed myself off my chair!! ROTFLMAO!!!
Oh man now I want some Krimpets! I've lived an hour from Philly almost all my life and am well acquainted with their goodness so it was interesting to see you try one for the first time
My favorite part of any LGR video is when he slips into a Duke Nukem voice regardless of the situation.
"Already getting the same problem I have with- *EA SPORTS!* "
That was timed perfectly! 🤣🤣
Always smile when I see you on my sub feed LGR, have a great weekend
the foam sticking to the bath was just so GOOD
I’m still convinced that mice peaked with the MS IntelliMouse
Hard to argue with that!
i vote for the easyball (im a daily exclusive trackballer)
Those Butterscotch Krimpets look so good.
I am glad that you are liking actual Tastykake Krimpets. You should try the one that has jelly in it. It is delicious.
This retro review was so hilarious man! I loved how you explained the features on these input devices. I could not stop laughing!
the shelf of "random crap" and "cheap tat" I'm sure that's the genre they were looking for. in fact, Im pretty sure thats where my mum and dad bought all my Christmas presents from.
I think Clint secretly made this series just to get an opportunity for all these puns
"18 holes, or as I like to call it, 6 women." -Tiger Woods on the science of golf
Omg Easy Bake Kitchen! I had that playset when I was a kid! Even wore out the icing squeezer on it. The music in that game has been living rent free in my head for years.
Oh wow, never thought Lebedev's stuff was ever actually sold in US despite they've got a local office in US, considering how crappy and ridiculously pricey their products and services are. But it might be very interesting to get their Optimus Maximus keyboard reviewed, it had that crazy feeling of "fat 2000s" and worth a part in your episodee. Just note it is as expensive as crappy in quality
Too bad it used early versions of OLED screens and most of these keyboards nowadays have faded or burned out screens
@@iscander_s they might have burned out shall they be used, but the keyboard itself is so crappy, all made of that thin glossy squishy plastic I'm almost sure noone could have used long enough to burn the keyscreens.
Chyrosran22 did a great video about the Optimus Maximus.
@@daemonspudguy thanks for the hint! Turns out the 3K$ one with color OLED was even not built out of shit, as the "basic" 1600 bucks model feels crappy right out of the box, don't even need to type a letter there to get to that feeling.
@@НикитаДёмочкин-й3ж and it uses the worst keyswitches Cherry makes, Cherry MY. Also, please stay safe over in Eastern Europe, as things are very messy.
These 3 mouse vids lately have been fun to watch and see what unusual designs people come up with that got to market. Also LMAO about baby Clint in a bathrub at 3:14, had a good laugh upon seeing that.
Tastykake definitely exists at Walmarts in St. Louis and I'd bet more, too - pretty sure they took a lot of market when Hostess left the shelves a few years ago and there was suddenly a hole for "name-brand baked sweets".
The madman can record outside and still find a way to have super crisp and noise-free audio. Top tier production!
Art.Lebedev had been absurd in the past and will be in future.
Now thats some grade A content, and the opening shot had awesome composition and color. Very cinematic
Clint choosing the bear was great foreshadowing
They probably shrunk the size of that pastry over the years like everything else. It probably used to be very large
This video raises many questions, all of which start with "but" and end with "why".
"The same problem I have with..."
"EA SPORTS!"
An accident? Really?
I enjoyed hearing you eat your first Tasty Kake Krimpet and watching you play with the Krimpet mouse way too much. That was oddly satisfying. Thank you sir Clint!
the highlight starts at 3:08 enjoy
OMG YES!!! The face he is making is just the CHERRY ON TOP!!!! BUAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
Rhode Islander here... CVS stands for "Consumer Value Stores". They are huge in New England. They totally have a Tat section.
the krimpets used to be wider but after the tastykake buyout they have gotten much smaller. they also have a cake called the junior which is about he size of the mouse to
Everything has gotten smaller and the costs have gone up. But they do it slowly so you don't really notice.
I already cannot wait to see that whole baking contraption in action!
Glad to see DNF 2001, I was hoping you'd do something with it, if only a blerb.
Also I have seen Tastykake on the west coast, but only in Jersey Mike's restaurants.
I live in the East Falls section of Philadelphia, the original home to the tastykake. The krumpet mouse is very nostalgic, thanks for sharing! 🥰
3:15 Gotta love the scientific investigations there :D
OMG That lamp! My family or a relative had a lamp just like that when I was very young. It’s a great addition to your throwback office.
i like how the golf mouse instantly reminded me of the G3's puck mouse, seems best channel enterprises didn't learn from that one.
Ball gags(!), cake puns... keep me coming back to LGR.
Oh, and computer stuff. :)
The only Tastykake I usually see up here is usually mini donuts, Entemann's (Bimbo; yes that's really what the company is called) dominates this area, and Little Debbie/Hostess covers the rest.
Everything is Bimbo.
Seriously, Bimbo owns a bunch of bigger brands like Oroweat and Sara Lee.
I have seen Entemanns everywhere I have been in the US but I have never seen TastyKake products.
@@kaitlyn__L My grandma hates the word so she would get all angry whenever she saw Bimbo Bread.
Most of the Bimbo products we see in Nebraska are Hispanic products in Hispanic big box groceries. Mexican cakes and pastries. I just presumed it was a Mexican brand alongside the Sangria Senorial and the Sidral Mundet. And FUD hotdogs.
