Oh the memories of walking around the school I worked at cleaning the old ball mice every week because of the heavy use by students and staff. I used a small plastic screwdriver to clean them, and put the scrapings into a zip-lock bag. I kept the bag and used to compare them each week to see how much crap the mice collected. We had a stock of new balls due to the amount of wear and tear they were put through and damage as well, and would often replace three to five a week. We would keep mice that were damaged by students spilling drinks on them, especially fizzy drinks and I would use them to repair other damaged and broken ones. Normally it was just the circuit board that was beyond repair, and I would give the main housing a good soak to clean it, and would keep the cable if it was in good condition before using them to repair broken ones. I don't miss those days, and am grateful for optical mouse now.
Wow, that would have been something to live through, I never really thought about that. Yeah, as you me tion, optical mice or track pads would have been a huge shift.
15:01 If I had of known Model-M keyboards would be desired in the future, I would have not thrown so many away when I was purging hardware for a retail company I was working for. I too like the feel of the model-M keyboards. I had a stack of them at one point in time. 19:06 Kind of cool that your blue power strip is very close the blue on the keyboard.
Seeing the ST themed keyboard and mouse paired with a 90s Compaq is a win. I always liked Compaq in the 90s and NG is my favorite although I grew up watching Deep Space Nine first.
This isn't your full-time gig?! We gotta get you up over 1M subs and change all that. LOVE the videos, keep it up! PS. I want one of those meece, cartoon plural of mouse, REALLY bad.
The keyboard on the box had keys in star fleet burgandy command color. The keyboard in the box has keys in science blue. Were they all blue and the box is incorrect? Is yours a variant keyboard?
I think maybe we're reading too much into it. I mean even the mouse pad colors were off a bit. I'm sure the company who mass produced these didnt put as much effort into them as they should have... At least not to the level we would have haha.

I love novelty stuff like this! I never had anything like this growing up, so it is really cool to see these types of products on youtube.
Agreed!

Haha yes, hard to believe the amount that were thrown out.

But can it defeat the Borg?
Yes, as long as we modulate shield frequencies and rotate the phasers to higher EM bands 😂
@TheRetroRecall 🤣🤣🤣 hopefully when they fail and the Borg lock on you can wtill use it to call a certain "tough little ship" for backup...
Resistance is futile.
