Curb find: A4 Tech Optical GreatEye Wheelmouse

[green-squid]

I found this interesting mouse on the curb while going home from the flea market. Thought I'd share it. It has some things going for it, but the scrollwheels are a bit too stiff







Quick fix for a broken plastic piece

Compared to my daily driver mouse

Double scroll wheel? Why? What does the other do?

Double scroll wheel? Why? What does the other do?

I don't know. it does the same up-down scrolling as the first one.

No difference in speed?

I think that maybe one of them could scroll left-to-right when using special drivers.

I had one that used a second horizontal scroll wheel. Worked without drivers too. That was a fad in the late 90s when webpages were starting to outgrow screen resolutions.

Edit: I hate autocorrect.

With a name like "GreatEye" I assumed the other one held the Ctrl key down when scrolling, acting as a zoom. If they both scroll normally, that seems asinine.
