@@theonlyegg pedal is infinitely better than the mouse, I think. And the pedal doesn't even do anything too crazy, it's just a clean drive pedal. Weird choice for the model, but Boss pedals undeniably are nice to look at, so sure.
@@someone___1240 Yeah, it's not an amazing pedal by any means, but it gets the job done if you're being VERY budget concious. I personally stan Metasonix pedals. The Assblaster is pretty versatile.
I've seen the Boss one out in the wild. In a musical instruments store to be exact. It was the orange DS-1 version, modeled after their iconic distortion box. The manager always jokingly said that being a mouse was the best use of the DS-1 since he found it a bit of a shitty sounding distortion.
DS-1 could sound good with a good tube amp and proper settings, but yeah it was kinda empty and fizzy sounding and there were better ones like Proco RAT or SansAMP with more amp-like sound. The DS-1 was pretty good base for modding to remove it's flaws. Also the built quality of BOSS effects pedals was very good and they became a standard on stage. I remember times when even the shittiest guitar effects were really expensive. Now we can buy top notch studio quality sounding pedals even for $20 with die cast metal case and durable metal footswitch. Many of them are based on high-end pedals that are sounding very close to the originals. BTW, having a mouse that looks like a guitar stompbox is quite weird idea...
I have one at my store. It was a gift to us by the Roland rep when we opened... I don't know how he got his hands on one considering they were not for retail 🤔
Weird mice were such a think in the early 2000s. Burger mice, Porsche mice, banana mice. I have given quite some of those as quirky birthday gifts. Ergonomics wasn't a thing back then 🤣 That guitar pedal mouse looks great!
I'd argue that ergonomics were _better_ back then, novelty mice notwithstanding. Today, everyone is using a laptop with a touchpad and a tiny flat keyboard, with their necks bent down to look at the tiny screen. Or worse: their phones. It's awful. Desktops are going the way of the dodo, at least for average home users.
I have one of those Little Tikes mice I found a few years back at a local thrift store(just the mouse itself), and it is indeed awesome. I might even use it as part of a PC build for my 3 year old great nephew as he loves his Little Tikes car, now I just need to find a matching keyboard.
@@nettils5555 why not, play some educational games, learn to read, write, and type, get a heads up before going to school, besides I got my first computer when I was 2, with it being a Commodore VIC-20, I was reading and writing at a 2nd grade level by the time I was in 5 years old kindergarten, and even 1/2 decent at typing.

I love how this video is about two gimmick mice that look pretty cool, and one that I wouldn't be caught dead using, and guess which one is the only actual good mouse because of course it is?
The Antitrust (Little Tikes) mouse! I love it. That movie will always be good to me. They actually featured linux machines running Gnome desktop too. Anyone who watches this channel should check out that movie if they have never seen it, it's a delight and a time capsule to the early 2000s.
Imagine bringing the cozy coupe mouse too a lan party in the early 2000's as a joke for a friend who has a crappy mouse lol. Should bring it along for a computer event at some point if you get the chance too do so. And do make some more videos on peripherals for sure! Maybe some messing around with a wheel for the pc as well like the microsoft sidewinder wheel if you happen too have one. (Rubber coating is probably going too feel sticky as hell or fall off if you stare at it hard enough but it should otherwise be a nice wheel for the time, for like colin mcrae 1, monster truck madness 1,2 & similar era games.)
The Shuttlecraft CD holder is pretty in demand for model builders. They never made a good model kit of the type 6 shuttle, so folks tend to modify it for a good decent sized model
I wonder if they make a wireless mouse version nowadays. Wired mice are almost a thing of the past today, I haven't seen any in stores in years and only very occasionally online.
@@mharris5047 Walk into any Walmart, Target, or Best Buy and you'll find wired mice, right next to the wireless ones. Not sure where you've been shopping. They're even easier to find online.
@@a-nus He didn't specifically say "wired Boss mice," he said "wired mice are almost a thing of the past." Meaning in general. So, how about checking your own reading comprehension before calling others ignorant, maybe? Keeps you from looking like an asshole.
I had some Star Trek: TNG computer accessories, but none of the ones pictured on the package in this video. There was a shuttlecraft floppy disk holder, which for some reason was blue. It was just a solid piece with a square hole cut out in the top, without any sort of lid. There was also a keyboard and a "monitor mask", both of which were also blue. The "monitor mask" was basically a plastic picture frame that you would put on your CRT monitor. IIRC, it was too small for the monitor we had at the time. I think my mom got all this stuff on clearance somewhere.
I have to buy that boss mouse. Especially being someone that works at guitar center, I feel like I have to have every kind of gimmicky guitar accessory for everyday use. It would go perfectly with my fender pick mouse pad
9:11 Odd detail, but I love how it just matches Roland's accessory boxes. I recently got an Aerophone mouthpiece and while the typography is different, it somehow exuded the same energy.
The toy car mouse appears in a movie called Synapse, when a kindergarden's computer is used as a secret database for some data the protagonist must retrieve. That computer's mouse is this one.
Wow that Star Trek mouse jogged some memories. I remember seeing them in Ultimate Electronics along with the toy props that came out in the late 90s. I ended up picking a toy TOS type 2 phaser and a communicator over the mouse. Looks like I made a good choice!
You know, with that Star Trek mouse, if you would have Star Trek 25th Anniversary, Judgement Rites and A final Unity, that mouse would fit perfectly for the ocassion.
@@JonManProductions I sure as heck did! I love my Boss OD-1 and OD-3 pedals. Built like tanks and still sounding great after decades of use. The only thing that would have made the video better is if Clint could have scored a Boss PH-1 phaser pedal mouse to go with his Star Trek phaser mouse. I don't think it exists though.
I remember that Little Tikes mouse was used in the movie Antitrust, released in 2001. It wasn't a great movie, but it is still a guilty pleasure to me. Happy New Year Clint!
6:42 Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force! Loved that game even though it didn't fully fulfill my desire to walk around the entire ship, haha. That mouse does look cool at least.
That is very doable, SD-1 aka TubeScreamer circuit is very simple and will easily fit inside with SMD components! For me this one is especially funny because I built my first pedal inside a serial mouse ^_^
Three weird mice, Three weird mice! See how they work! They are stiff, awkward, slippery as ice! You could’ve made a song in the opening about those mice!
That little tykes mouse has no business being that good. Most novelty mice were just cash grabs and anyone who had to do real work stuck with Logitech and Microsoft. It’s a shame the pedal mouse wasn’t better. It looked like it had the most promise.
@rastas _ There's definitely mic-specific audio gear that can be in footpedal form, yeah :D . Some of it is pretty rad. Personally, I have a second small pedalboard that's just for my mic but it's just guitar pedals. I love being able to add delay/reverb/whatever and also mute it whenever I want. It's not proper or whatever but I use a lofi-ish brass mic with a 1/4" out anyway so it works haha
When i first saw the boss mouse was a yellow SD-1, i really wish it was a orange DS-1. But spewed coffee when I saw they actually did release a DS-1 variant. Now we just need a Boss Metal Zone MT-2 haha. Happy new year.
Nice! I'm pretty sure that little Tikes mouse made an appearance in the movie "Anti Trust" when Ryan Phillippe goes into the day care center to crack open a secret PC.
oh jesus, i thought jumpstart preschool sounded familar but when casy the cat starting talking and you did the match game i got THROWN back into memories of me being like 4 or whatever dickin around on the computer circa 2003. jesus christ im old.
I had the Little Tikes mouse. It was surprisingly comfy for my little six year old hand, and came with a copy of Jump Start: Preschool, of all things. Too bad I was already in First Grade! I had a hand-me-down eMachines PC at that point and Internet access was limited to the family computer, there was no phone line in my room and it would be a few years before we got broadband and WiFi, so no JuniorNet for me lol. I'm pretty sure these things were recalled, though. Also, what lost souls were trapped in that Star Trek mouse?!
I really want that Boss guitar effect pedal mouse. They've always been my favorite brand of effect pedals. I had no idea there was a Boss-themed mouse. That is awesome.
Oh man, I remember that phaser mouse. So sad in hindsight. How could poor makers of "phaser" mouse have known that laser mice were coming. It was born before its time.
I am in awe with all the old video game stuff you have. I am a kid and have a small video game collection of nes, snes, genesis, and pc games. I wish I had the money to own all this stuff. 🤣
Man, that Boss pedal is awesome! I might have to grab one! Looks like it’s about 120-150 on eBay if you’re curious. I just wish the pedal was mouse 1 :/
Used to watch you a lot. I don't really anymore. But I'm glad to have stumbled upon this video to see that you're still making videos. keep up the great work!
This is a treat! The Trek culture references, and the odd Star wars One, and then the mayhem and the 16+ gore on the preschool kids mouse! Awesome end to a great year!
That last mouse (or very similar model) starred in the movie "Antitrust" from 2001 - I immidiatly recognized it! I must rewatch that movie in near future after 15 years or so to be completly sure, that it was exactly the same... Greetings from Poland!
I want that phaser mouse (and all the related accessories of course). I’m surprised I missed this back in the day. I had a lot of Star Trek toys. My favorite was a tricorder. I used to “scan” everyone and everything. I’m sure I annoyed my parents with it.

I mean I spent like 20 straight minutes thinking of all of that just because OP made a typo and clearly already knows how to spell the word, that old mnemonic just popped into my head and triggered the absolute shizz out of me. I hope that saying has died out...
@@realityshotgun I honestly have no idea when I learned it. Kinda like how so many people instinctively know the lyrics to "Take Me Out To The Ball Game", but absolutely don't know how.
Love your channel! Reminds me of days when we had stores like babages, electric boutique, egghead software. Etc. When compusa and other stores existed with big box software and odd products. I loved that time and we all grew up in that. I remember buying Linux distributions on CD for dollar
I spent so many hours of my childhood playing star trek voyager elite force!! Haha! I figured out you could one hit kill the hirogen boss by hitting him with the tranquilizer hypo spray (I'm still very proud of figuring that one out)
Nothing to do with the mice, but I find the idea of Star Trek deathmatch hilarious - the ship's crew just running around blasting each other without a care in the world.
When I saw the Cozy Coupe I immediately thought of "Antitrust" and the Day care! I actually had a Pablo tablet, it wasn't geared towards kids but as a budget tablet, didn't care for it back then either.
Interesting oddware mice. That "little tikes" mouse brings back memories... I do remember servicing a couple of those Young Explorer setups many years ago, IIRC for a kindergarten. These have IBM ThinkCenter mini-towers inside them. That JamCam toy camera looks familiar ar well. I think I had one years ago, someone gave it to me for free. Interestingly, it supported serial as well as USB for transferring photos. Photo quality was non-existent, but that was to be expected for a toy.
That Boss mouse is boss! They should make their entire pedal lineup available as mice so I can hook all of them up simultaneously in a chain like guitar!
3:02 "it's dead Jim!" missed opportunity! 4:10 "there's an extra bit of resistance there, I thought that that was futile" ... I see what you did there!
The idea of someone rolling up to a LAN party with a Little Tikes mouse and cleaning house is amazing.
That would be epically hilarious.
Only if one of the other player has that boob mouse from LGR videos of old xD

Not a bad way to start the year either. The Star Trek phaser mouse part had me cracking up multiple times, Clint is in good form here.
I'd love to see the Cozy Coupe show up in other videos, absent any other context, just being used.
Would that make it Clint's daily driver?

Pretty sure this was used in the 2001 film Antitrust. There is a scene with a kids day centre and all the workstations have what look like these.

I before E except after C. Or W as in weird. Or R as in reign. Or B as in beige. Or F as in feign. Or E as in seeing. Or L as in leisure. Or S as in seize. Or K as in keister. Or N as in neither. Or G as in ageist. Or V as in vein. Or H as in heist. Or by itself as in eight.
What could have possibly gotten our teachers to put this idea into our heads?
Can anyone who was taught the "i before e" nonsense in school chime in real quick and tell me where/when it was you were told it? I'm really curious about it. I mean I spent like 20 straight minutes thinking of all of that just because OP made a typo and clearly already knows how to spell the word, that old mnemonic just popped into my head and triggered the absolute shizz out of me. I hope that saying has died out...
@@realityshotgun I honestly have no idea when I learned it. Kinda like how so many people instinctively know the lyrics to "Take Me Out To The Ball Game", but absolutely don't know how.
Yeah, those Crazy Coupes are sturdy as heck, we had two at the daycare I worked at, and they could really take a beating.
Love your channel! Reminds me of days when we had stores like babages, electric boutique, egghead software. Etc. When compusa and other stores existed with big box software and odd products. I loved that time and we all grew up in that. I remember buying Linux distributions on CD for dollar
CompUSA becoming Tiger Direct was the beginning of the end
15:33 Totally had that keyboard on the box of the little tikes mouse when I was growing up. Holy cow!!
I am a tech student so these videos help a bit with normalizing the technical terms for these peripherals
Leave it to Clint to identify the company that made an oddware by the smell of the plastic. Amazing
Now you need a Mesa Boogie Mk. V PC for this Boss SD-1 mouse
As soon as I saw the Cozy Coupe mouse in the thumbnail I knew this would be a good video 😁
I spent so many hours of my childhood playing star trek voyager elite force!! Haha! I figured out you could one hit kill the hirogen boss by hitting him with the tranquilizer hypo spray (I'm still very proud of figuring that one out)
I NEVER KNEW THAT WHAT
I like the format. Couple of novelty mice and then try to game with the best of the three.
I had no idea there was an officially licenced genre mashup of Star Trek Voyager and Quake 3
Thanks for all of the blasts from the pasts.
Nothing to do with the mice, but I find the idea of Star Trek deathmatch hilarious - the ship's crew just running around blasting each other without a care in the world.
I gotta score a copy of that! These days my quake 3 jam is OpenArena, but it would be great to have the Star Trek take too.
When I saw the Cozy Coupe I immediately thought of "Antitrust" and the Day care! I actually had a Pablo tablet, it wasn't geared towards kids but as a budget tablet, didn't care for it back then either.
I'd never thought I'd see LGR, as a fully grown man. Play some kids software using a Little Tikes mouse.
And you thought that's weird, you haven't seen him play Unreal Tournament with it, yet.
You're on fire with your clicking skills on Virtua Cop. 😮
"We need backup?!" "It's on the way I have a little tikes car" hah best quote ever.
Interesting oddware mice.
That "little tikes" mouse brings back memories... I do remember servicing a couple of those Young Explorer setups many years ago, IIRC for a kindergarten. These have IBM ThinkCenter mini-towers inside them. That JamCam toy camera looks familiar ar well. I think I had one years ago, someone gave it to me for free. Interestingly, it supported serial as well as USB for transferring photos. Photo quality was non-existent, but that was to be expected for a toy.
Happy New Year LGR! Thank you for another year of awesome videos, and here's to another! 🎉🎊
Clint laughing is sure fire way to cheer you up if you're having a bad day.
I was *not* expecting to enjoy 25 minutes about some junky mice but i have been proven wrong!
4:11 "I thought that that was futile, but I guess not." XD
Oh man the SD-1 mouse is an abomination, I want one!
Ah I just loved the seamless transition from the preschool game to head shots and rampages in UT!
I want a kid version of UT
I really liked the last mouse episodeb and this one. Could this be a monthly series? Are there enough weird mice in the world?
The way Clint clicked to match the diamonds and said "yess" was top tier Napoleon Dynamite vibes.
That Boss mouse is boss! They should make their entire pedal lineup available as mice so I can hook all of them up simultaneously in a chain like guitar!
Oh. Oh no. You've reminded me about Jumpstart Preschool existing, and now I won't get the intro song out of my head for the next month.
I'm going to admit it I laughed really hard when he said "gotta warm these old balls up"
3:02 "it's dead Jim!" missed opportunity!
4:10 "there's an extra bit of resistance there, I thought that that was futile" ... I see what you did there!
This could have easily been a Christmas theme with Three Wise Mice.
This brought back a memory of modding Quake 3 Arena with the weapons from Star Trek Elite Force. Time to boot up and PLAY!
That last bit was a great way to end the year.
Nice throwback, I had a couple of those Boss guitar pedals back in the day, pretty sure even an SD-1.
Take care and have a good 2022 everyone. :)
