that mouse wasnt made in the 1980s.. it's from 1996. Huuuuuuge difference in mice from the 80s compared to the late 90s, this mouse was actually groundbreaking compared to was on the market at that point of time
Correct....I don't recall any of my mice having a scroll wheel in the 80s. My first mouse was a Commodore Tank mouse, and it was a brick compared to that Microsoft mouse. The USB more is also a clue as they did not have USB in the 80s. Before that was PS2 and then before that, serial. I would love to see what they could do with a Tank mouse! I do a wireless remake of the Tank mouse and gaming with it is rough and hurt my hand. Of course when I was using that mouse in the 80s I was not using for FPS games as they did not exist. Games that used mice were often very slow paced.....for a fast paced game you would use a joy stick.
This absolute madlad literally destroyed people online by using a 1980s mouse that literally runs on BALL, a god damn BALL. Imagine getting such an old piece of mouse antiquity, reverse engineering it to understand how the hell it works, then hop on games and pop heads like it's nothing. This guy cooks up every single time some amazing ideas and puts them all togethering in insanely detailed and well crafted videos, this is so underrated.
eh quake pros used these for awhile, technically not so bad since its close to 1:1 tracking everybody just switched to optical because the intellimouse optical was so cracked
You just cleaning the ball, but not the roller thingies made me sad. That's also where most of the noise came from. Great video! Cheers, an old person who is glad ball mice are a thing of the past.
Legit your game clips were goat, lol i grew up with those ball mice. There is a charm with using analog equipment, its not always the fastest or best looking. But it will always feel more natural
This is a late 1990's/early 2000's Microsoft Intellimouse ball mouse. Microsoft didn't release any scroll wheel mice until 1996, so it's definitely not from the 1980's.
It seems like you have to be smooth at all times with this mouse otherwise you just get screwed over. It was fun watching this vid and I hope you get more recognition Keeah!
i remember playing aim map in cs source with my drunk friend and he absolutely mangled me. he was on a ball mouse while i was on my mx518 optical mouse on one of the first glass mousepads from corepad. your scores are very impressive. i have a hard time reaching GM scores, but i chalked that up to age. i guess i should retire from competitive shooters soon. i have 2 seasons of masters complete, faceit lvl 9 and almost immortal complete, but anything above that feels almost impossible. 2500h overall in aimtrainers and some days are better than others. i don't feel it as much ingame, but locking in is much harder now than it was when i was 20.
yeah! well done on all your achievements and accomplishments! I can't really talk about your experience in aim-trainers... however, I really want to say just put in the hours, but you already have... so my next thought would be how mindful you are of your practice and technique (with vod reviews etc.), and how much content of people who are better you consume. Matty has some great tips and insights regarding aim in his "aim secrets" series, so does voltaic
huh since i had seen and used one as a kid, i didnt think it was that old. whats crazy is that that mouse is probably older than a lot of the ppl u are killing with it.
i happen to have recently started a project related to ball mice, and use an old 1992 Logitech M-S34 in competitive gaming as well! ive discovered all the same quirks and issues as with your intellimouse, and its really difficult to get a ''good'' performance going. my end goal is to custom design a new mouse using a ball, purpose tailored to high performance competitive gaming either by inventing a new ball system or upgrading the hell out of the existing system.
To me sensor and polling rate is analogous to something like video resolution. 1080p looks better than 720p but it's not going to make a bad film good. The same with mouse specs, they can make playing the game feel nicer/worse, but alone are not going to fundamentally make you better or worse at aiming.
Of course they do. If your mouse can't handle certain accelerations, the cursor will spin out. Needless to say, you're getting nowhere with that type of mouse.
When I first started playing quake2, this mouse was the standard, and it felt good to use. Uphill both ways kids, ... I'm just kidding but I assure you we all fragged.
big love to your idea for video and the advices at the end. nowadays normal fps gamers (non e-sport players) going crazy for 4khz 8khz polling rates and latest gen sensors. actually doesnt makes any sense for them. they are spending much more dollars than they should pay. find urself a mouse that fitting ur budget and ur hand. thats it. and stop being ''latency'' and ''latest tech'' sick.
Haha, I have a ball mouse at my computer and was really curious what your video would say/show about it. The ball mouse is one that I use since my other mouse (an Apple "Mighty Mouse") can't left and right click at the same time... so I need the ball mouse to ADS/scope or aim a bow. Obviously it is basically usable and not even a huge hindrance compared to what you'd expect. But it also makes me laugh a bit every time I use it. "Bro is using a ball mouse in2024, LMAO." (Yes, I really like keeping old technology going, so long as it still works and gets the job done. Lol. How could you guess?) EDIT to add: I've only used it to play single player. But I do watch some gaming peripheral content, I'm really curious about it. So, the thought of someone analyzing the ball mouse's characteristics for application in competitive multiplayer, needless to say that got my attention! Lol.
trackball next ?, also suprised not to see like the fast spinout 360 trick where flick fast lift the mouse and then push hard into surface to instantly stop for 360 noscopes. it's not practical but it's goofy (only some of later ball mice can do it without spinning out)
rly fun vid, love the music choices!!
:o !!!

im thankful that ur video got recommended to me on my youtube homepage. keep it up dude!

Great video! Cheers, an old person who is glad ball mice are a thing of the past.
yes! sorry about that... I realized it during the final stages of the video. MY BAD! (I still should have mentioned it somehow)
Legit your game clips were goat, lol i grew up with those ball mice. There is a charm with using analog equipment, its not always the fastest or best looking. But it will always feel more natural
wait, you deserve thousands of views and subs man. the quality of ur vid is great. keep it up :D

This video is also not in 2025...
someone took "shape is king" too seriously. nice video!
This is a quality video my friend. Keep it up and you will go far.
It seems like you have to be smooth at all times with this mouse otherwise you just get screwed over. It was fun watching this vid and I hope you get more recognition Keeah!
yes! you really need to be careful with it, haha. tysm antuca!

if its usb you can overclock the polling rate, you could even do it on a ps2 mouse
again a masterpiece video from u, love watching u, btw i also bought the op18k and the zero mid xxl cause of u thx
woah... tysm!! I appreciate the support so much!
Now I wonder.. How can I played OG CS at that era with this kind of mouse and still could do AWP kill no scope lol
used to get dirty so fast, those damn rollers
Awesome work and video, great stuff 🔥
ty!!
huh since i had seen and used one as a kid, i didnt think it was that old. whats crazy is that that mouse is probably older than a lot of the ppl u are killing with it.
People: my nice is shit I can't aim!

I met lan cs beasts playing with this type of mouse.

I still think mouse sensor performance reached diminishing returns after the 3360/3366
Love your videos mate ❤️ keep it up
tysm!
Next touchpad on laptop?
haha, I'm afraid I'm not cut out for it... (maybe though lol)
What my team8s use when im in my rank up game
You've got some balls out there, ngl.
When I first started playing quake2, this mouse was the standard, and it felt good to use.
Uphill both ways kids, ... I'm just kidding but I assure you we all fragged.
what music do you use in this video bro? your bgm choices is good!
ty! it's mostly omori & undertale ost. (specific music used is in the description!)
Before I won enough money from competing in small val tourney’s I used to play with an old IBM mouse 😂 definitely doable
most players have to reload their weapon Keeah has to reload his mouse

the omori ost caught me so off guard wtf based
This mouse literally forces you to aim calmly lmao
i have been wishing real trackball mice would return, i would throw money at a decent logitech or razer trackball mouse
Try it on a glasspad!
Haha, I have a ball mouse at my computer and was really curious what your video would say/show about it.

Tldr my teammates have no excuse
Extra ball indeed helps.
how did you switch between weapons in valorant if u have it binded to both mouse sidebuttons that u clearly not have on this mouse
side buttons are my main keybinds, but I changed the secondary ones to use this mouse
great video
i have one of them, well 2, they are fun
Try a trackball next
what if you use this mouse with a crt monitor
SomaBringer ost?
just checked it out... sounds cool! maybe next time. (this is mostly omori ost, with some undertale)
@@Keeahh lol I was asking if that first song was from soma bringer lol 😂
how i played the first cod and cs 1.6 - two buttons only
do u think the DPI would actually be 360 instead of 358? it seems like a number they would intentionally choose for some reason
1000th subscriber here :3
"Creative valorant content doesnt exi....."
this is crazy :D
back to 2000 CS 1.3/1.6
:D
What’s your monitor?
aw2521hfa... I think there are way better monitors for cheaper nowadays though
@@Keeahh is it 240hz ?
yes
@@Keeahh I have the same and my settings are trash. Can you send me your’s and nvidia pls
umm sure! I don't think I have anything too crazy though... you can join the discord if you want (or we can find another way to send images)
Goat
mouse names ?
I think all the mice shown in the video were the intellimouse, op1 8k, and x2v2 mini
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🚒
It's not 2025 yet lil bro 🙏🙏
cool video
i am using a glass bottle for my milk instead of a cardboard or plastic.. but why?
we all know milk from glass tastes worse right?
NOT!!!!!!!!!
LOL
That is not an immortal lobby 😭
haha I guess not...
I used that mouse when I played cs 1.6 lol
amazing video bro. i would marry your voice
:O
conclusion: i suck hard stuck ascedent 1 gettin bottom frag in 60% of my games, thanks
That's why u should quit valorant bro
@ after spending money to buy skin ? No way 😂 when I get sad I’m hard stuck ascendent I remember that are people hard stuck on gold 😅
you should play osu with it
trackball next ?, also suprised not to see like the fast spinout 360 trick where flick fast lift the mouse and then push hard into surface to instantly stop for 360 noscopes. it's not practical but it's goofy (only some of later ball mice can do it without spinning out)
haha maybe! yeah, I wasn't aware of it and hadn't thought of utilizing that technique lol
I am shocked. that's all I can say.
USB mouse from 1980
its feel like your using aimbot , but only use a ball mouse.😂😂
W vid
terrible comparison you should test it to cs and valorant these are the best for aim
Definitely not 1980's
so negative music
