      I remember when mice were a neat new peripheral for use with graphical interfaces instead of typing in a command line.

            That's because color hadn't been invented yet and therefore people could only see in black and white. That's why old shows don't have color.

              Many professional gamers still depend on them because they have lower latency than USB.

                      PS/2 isn't vintage. I'm still using an adapter to connect my Microsoft Natural keyboard through USB.

                      Oh, wait...

                        And the newer ones then "removed" the color coding by doing one half of the circle in green, the other half in purple...

                            Ooh, I had a serial mouse (9 pin) from Microsoft of all companies, in the 90's.

                            Damn good mouse.

                                        They've finally started removing them from boards, and I'm annoyed. I want my NKRO.

                                        Most of them are internally connected via USB apparently so there's no difference. Not that the average e sports player would even notice.

                                          On the Amiga's 40th birthday I brought the old Amiga 500 out of storage to the dinner table and we had cake. Just realized I should do the same with the Atari ST, for more cake. I think my family tolerates me because of the cake.
