I have some Apple mice, original single button ADB and they don't fit, though I have a number of different variations so I will look see if any are smaller.stephen_usher wrote: 26 May 2022 15:49 I think the mouse balls are the same size as the Mk.I Apple ADB bus mouse.
Apparently the mice were made by Logitech (even the original ones), so blame them for the self destructing gobstoppers! :-)
It seems to be, yes.
Mine is a Type 1 mouse, yes. I have no idea if it originally shipped with it or if it was one that came along later.alexh wrote: 26 May 2022 16:35 Does that make it a Type 1 mouse?

I thought A5000's shipped with a Type 3 mouse which are 22mm?
I feel your pain :(
My main worry is that whatever ball I put in,, the rollers are a bit slick and shiny so might slip,, but let's see once the steel and Delrin balls arrive.mrbombermillzy wrote: 26 May 2022 19:16I feel your pain :(
Lets see how the steel ball works out. I will try to find a small balled mouse when I can get to them.
Its a shame, as I got rid of several PC Serial/MS mice a while ago which I wouldnt of minded..er..castrating?!..is that the right term for it? (technically I would have been removing their balls, after all) :lol:
Buy a really big one and keep sucking till it fits!stephen_usher wrote: 26 May 2022 21:03 How big are real gobstoppers? I'm sure they'll grip if they get a bit sticky. ;-)
