Cheers, I will see what I can find too in the meantime, but Apple mice and Atari mice are a no, as is the generic non-Atari Atari mouse connected to my MSTE!mrbombermillzy wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 1:42 pm I wonder if mark at Retro Clinic has any balls for an Archie mouse?
Where would someone buy a spare mouse ball from, these days??!?
If @stephen_usher says they are 20mm, I will attempt to find a suitable donor from somewhere if you dont have any joy in the meantime.
Nice, thanks, will watch that later for sure.Badwolf wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 1:43 pmI'm minded of our very own @GadgetUK164's video:stephen_usher wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 1:29 pm I've looked on-line for the 20mm mouse balls that the Mk.II mouse uses and couldn't find anything I'm afraid.

Just watched the vid and one of those mice balls look similarly opaque glazed like a gobstopper too. I wonder how they get like this?
Yeah. I'm guessing Acorn blew the budget on the keyboard so decided to make the mouse balls out of some old tubes of Araldite they found in the workshop!mrbombermillzy wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 1:59 pm Just watched the vid and one of those mice balls look similarly opaque glazed like a gobstopper too.
