Two-Button NeXT Mouse ADB

[AEChadwick]

this is old news (i got the mouse on eBay years ago), but I haven't seen anyone else throw this flex

here is my NeXT two-button ADB mouse attached to a PowerBook 550c

Nice. You can do the same with the NeXT keyboards which were also ADB. They're a bit pricey these days, I should've held onto mine.

Having a 550c on its own is a massive flex. Man am I jealous!

I also can’t help but notice that you’ve done the US Keyboard mod - I assume you took a standard US blackbird keyboard and swapped the key caps from a 190/5300 board? It was someone on this forum who I heard about that mod in the first place from, maybe it was you!

(we're not even going to talk about the early 2000s “why do i still have THIS?” purge; we lost several good men that day...)

buddy gave me a broken PowerBook 190, it sat in a box with a broken 520c for almost two decades until i finally got a 550c... THEN i read about that mod! here at the MLA just like you!

Steve really liked his circular mice it seems... At least this one seems easier to keep properly oriented than the later iMac mice.
