- Did you know the first computer mouse looked like a wooden box with pizza cutters attached to it? How did we get from that to the laser-based RGB mice we know and love today?

I can relate to this because I use a mouse
I only use cats.
Easier when you have bigger hands.

Believe or not, my school still use a ball mouse with a monitor older than my teacher age
Whaa
Don’t doubt it

Yuck
ah yes

Why not!!
yes, because who does not like deadpool
When the scroll wheel came out we called it the clitoris.
Damn I'm old.
I wish my Mrs. Would play with her scroll wheel for me

'member when people claimed the "end of the mouse" with the introduction of touch screen (especially after the iPad) and voice control? Still waiting.... :D
A totally cute and innocent guy it's technically not needed if you can memorize the right keyboard shortcuts.
@@chistinelane I wish I had the will to learn these. Nothing makes you look like you know what you're doing on a computer more than not touching the mouse. It also legitimately seems faster.
Lovely using a touch screen whilst eating fish and chips with salt sauce on em!

Who here is old enough to remember having to remove the ball of a mouse to clear all the gunk off the axle every month or so?
Or losing the cap thingy and never being able to use that mouse again. I was that child.
Good Lord did I hate trackball's. I remember finding optical Belkin mice at Big Lots for a decent price and never went back. Though the thick cords still sucked and would frequently get tangled up to the point where I ditched wires once wireless optical mice came on the market.
I used mine so much I wore the trackball down on one side and it would slide and not roll . Strangely it was cheaper to buy a new mouse than to buy a replacement trackball, which was like double the price. I miss CompUSA.
Optical/laser mice also need cleaning. Or at least the cheap ones that have no teflon feet do. Gunk sticks to the plastic feet and the mouse won't slide properly if not cleaned.
Myrmidon me
Back when balls were not always associated with genitals.
I love gripping wooden mice with it's ball at the bottom and wooden body. what the hell am I doing
Now here's a funny comment 🤣
You have alot of balls for commenting this
Yeah simple days where you could just call it ball instead of kickball basketball
How about eggs?

Sadly, apple turned from a tech revolution company to a premium expensive company.
Lol it always was that dumb steve supporting the mac instead of apple 2
xxalex423xx He was young back then, didn’t realize Wozniak’s vision
Apple is trash... It was never like this at the beginning of apple
Sadly it still makes tech with better build quality and design. If you show me an Alienware and a MacBook without showing spec. I will always choose MacBook
@@420sakura1 lol that’s the exact opposite of the truth, find a good razor laptop and use that with mac os if you have to. Mac's only good point is their software and ecosystem, the hardware they use is extremely prone to failure with expensive replacement costs, and most failures can just be avoided with small changes. Apple as a company would rather put a ticking time bomb in your hardware then make it responsibly because they know that you will end up giving them more money when it eventually dies.
I'm sure that as an apple fan, you would like to believe that I’m not telling you the truth. If you think so, please go watch some Louis Rossman vids on irresponsible company behavior from apple.
Bill English died today. He helped build the first prototype of the mouse as we know it today. RIP.

I feel bad for Xerox. They could have been a great software company.
Did Microsoft and Apple actually rip Xerox off?
where i live Photocopy is called xerox so there's that..
Feynstein 100
Xerox set up the Palo Alto Research Centre (PARC) in California to research what a digital office could look like (they were worried about photocopier sales). They got some great minds together and they actually come up with some amazing things - basically designed the computer of the early 90’s, but in the late 70’s.
They showed their creations to headquarters, but the bosses didn’t understand it. Jobs heard about it, arranged to see it and then licensed the tech (and took some staff) and made the Macintosh. While looking for software developers, he showed a prototype to Gates, and the rest is history.
+Michael Collins That sounds exactly like the plot of Pirates of Silicon Valley. Do we have any references for this?
the doco series 'triumph of the nerds', you can find it on youtube. heaps of good interviews and insights in there. Pirates of Silicon Valley was partially inspired by the totn, but stretched some aspects for the story.
1:03 Those are some odd looking horses.
Agreed
People sitting on a people sitting on a motorcycle.
I think long version of this will make a tongue twisters.
Thats not a horse you dumb. Those are unicorns
3:20 You should have mentioned that Apple first used the mouse in the Apple Lisa, which predated the original Macintosh (and the original Microsoft Mouse).
Ahhh, the ball mouse......those were the old days. No, I didn't forget "good".
Aaron Blue lol
Cerus98 you got a point. 👍🏾
Plus they were good for throwing at people with their metal cores.
Metal cores? You must have bought the real high end class. I never got anything else then plastic and rubber.
it was metal core surrounded by rubber
Wait, is Linus wearing a Jibo shirt?
Are you being held hostage, Linus?
I thought he hate JIBO
Well he spent a lot of money on that thing, so... I guess he is his own hostage
Jibo got better and he made a new jibo vid, he actually likes jibo now
Lazy
Yea I know right I thought he hated Jibo?
At that point in time, he wore the shirt satirically.
now you should do a video called: History of the Mouse (animal edition)
Bruh 🤣
Don't be such an IDIOT
mouse used to have some balls.............
:))))
Your comment should read:
Mice used to have some big balls,
learn proper grammar dammit!!!!!

Now they just have small hole that glows red ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Linus feels so bad about trashing Jibo a few months ago that now he's giving them publicity! LOL
José Daniel Pedreira out of the loop.
So care to get us into the loop? Why does he wear their shirt?
José Daniel Pedreira he has made a new video on jibo, take a look!!!

A boomslang (pronounced bwoom-slung) is a very deadly south African snake. It comes from afrikaans. Boom=tree, slang=snake so it translates to tree snake.
Edit: I know this was very unnecessary🤣
In het Nederlands is het dan beter vertaald, letterlijk gewoon 'boom' en 'slang'.
Yster!!!!

Actually i would thank them, coz earlier episodes were simply too small to cover the topic
well, they don't have 'as fast as possible' at the title :P
We need a new Ltt channel, techslowie 😂
it says nowhere that they are going as fast as possible

You should program an rgb mouse to change colors based on its location on the mouse pad.
6:23 you are featuring the g402? YO THATS THE MOUSE I USE
cool mouse
@@noobics8015 since then now I got the g502 lightspeed XD
I remember using a ball mouse when I was 6 or 7 on our old Windows 95 PC. Technology has come a long way.
still with the JIBO shirt.....linus really loves that shirt
I know right
Did you know that a mouse today register as a HID (HID USB) that stands for Human interface device.
Yes especially the HIDden mouse xD
Really? Oh no no everyone knows that
Wait...so wheel mice are..optical? WTF?!
Cavey Möth Optical switches, versus optical tracking my good sir!
Rotary encoder.
LINUS IF JIBO HAS TAKEN YOU HOSTAGE PLEASE BLINK TWICE
When your mouse works on clear glass, and your bugged by scratches,
Linus: a mouse that detects small scratches and dust,
can i get an i7 in a mouse?
No! That's ridiculous.
Yes, if you want a 3rd degree burn
A mouse with a fan?
I have a razer basilisk feels like a i7
The Unknown Idiot looks like a fucking Pentium lol
lol that joke at the start

I know, it got me good.
Holy cow, after 5 minutes your comment got like 6 likes 👍
Yep.. Mickey!

The creator of the mouse has passed. Moment of silence for the pioneer to the tech we have now.
Xerox was such a pioneer back in those days, absolute legends.
Kind of like Intel? And Nvidia?
@@irllcd13 nah, the xerox research project group, or however they called it, came up with very many concepts xerox didn't really want, but are great inventions that are basic functionality in nowerdays electronics, like the GraphicalUserInterface
I remember my teachers wouldn’t even say laminate they just say xerox this for me
And the Royal Navy lol
Thanks to them, The whole idea of a computer mouse became.
Windows operating system was created by Xerox, and Gates simply bought it and adopted to common use on PC.
He forgot to mention how laser was a marketing gimmick, and that today's top tier mice use optical sensors again because it's more accurate
pretty sure they still use lasers. its just infrared now is all
Thanks used this for my school project
Cant get enough of linus and jibo...its like his sidekick
It’s time to talk about this Jibo shirt
RowdyCarnival57 have you not watch other ltt vids he wears it sometimes
The t-shirt looks cool, unlike the Jibo itself lol
0:57 look at that sweet RGB
Well rgb makes things work better so no wonder they use it in the military, gotta get them frames!
5:06 I've been using such a mouse for 15 years. I just had to repair the cable twice. Very good design.
6:38 HEY THATS MY MOUSE
I remember always taking the ball out of mice just to throw it at my friends.
Weird flex but okay
😂🔥
Lmao i used to do that in class, but not my friends, my teacher

Deadpool manboob mouse pad, eehm ok linus.
I have a mouse that has a ball with axles and everything you said
Sometimes the screen mouse doesn’t move though
You could have at least mentioned the mouse's former name: "X-Y position indicator"
Those times when the Techquickie videos are longer and more meaningful than the main channel videos.
3:27 Stops video to rip on Apple
I think this channel should do a collab with LinusTechTips.

Anyone who is interested in odd computer hardware, check out Lazy Game Reviews' series called oddware. There is a mouse with a calculator built-in. It seriously has an entire, full scale calculator built in. It's called the Pro hance mouse. Go check it out. It's really good
James Stark I like oddware, but why would you, a random viewer who receives no profit from LGR, advertise it?
We used to dismantle mouses and stick foil inside the top because they would stop working in sunlight as it penetrated the case and interfered with the infrared sensors
man they filmed a lot of videos on jibo shirt day
Past: You can buy computer mouse for $70
Now: You can get it for $3
True just like phones
This is true with pretty much any tech

i kind of forgot the video i clicked on and was legit about to learn about the history of florida
I thought Walt Disney actually contributed to the creation of the mouse lol
Which mouse?
KAJ-Time Ahaaaaaaa
Haha
With that opening I was fully prepared to believe that the first proto-mouse was invented by Disney for Epcot.
heh. Mouse balls.
lmao wtf
Would you like a picture from my..collection..to illustrate the idea?
Optimus prime: Auto-balls Roll out!
OwO
It's actually not that bad! When I was 5 or 6, those were the thing! I used to play CS Source with that!
Synergy would have been a better sponsor of this video.
Gaming mice actually needed to be optical because of games like quake. Quickly flicking a mouse around would actually break the mechanism that the ball was attached to really often
the Micheal Jackson "wheo!"
LOVE IT XD
At first I thought Linus shirt said jjba
We need more videos likee these
Glad to see at least a photo of the Intellimouse explorer. But one of the first gaming mousr was the Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1 due to his awesome sensor MLT04, then came the Intellimouse 3.0 with a more ergonomical shape and a 9000fps MLT04. It's sad to see today now mouse producers focus more on DPI rather than the sensor itself and the FPS IMO
I remember the times where we were modding LED mice and replacing the red LED with a blue one. Good old modding community back then was fun :)
4:20 Yea I see
0:32 I have the same mouse as that. Illuminati confirmed.
Lmfaoooo MJ at 0:34 was unexpected 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anyone else miss ball mice simply because of the immense satisfaction of picking that big piece of gunk out of it?
I loved the ball itself as well. I always used to keep the ball if a mouse broke.
No just no ik im 12 but JESUS nobody wants to pick nasty gunk out of a mouse
Nobody Jimmy, nobody.
2:51 How does that mouse light sensor know which direction the wheels are turning and therefore know if it’s going backwards but not forwards? Or right but not left?
I'll be honest... There are times when I miss my old ball mouse
*C Ross*
Ball on the bottom, or ball on the top as in trackball mouse?
nakyer bottom haha
"Incinerate your enemies" Wait that wasn't in the list of uses...... how do I activate death laser mode??
History of mouse
1970s - mouse runs itself
1980s - mouse eats cheese
1990s - mouse just got evolved
Present day - mouse is now controllable
Clarence Bustillo 😂
I would always take the ball out and play with it, only to lose it later and never be able to use the mouse again
5:55 me watching on a laptop, with Logitech mouse😁
2:29 Is that a Vectrex (Sorry if I spelled that wrong...) ?
I have ball in mice
2:34
4 a.m.: i swear just one more linus vid. 8 a.m.:
*mom comes in* : how was your sleep
*me*: what sleep?
Actually the ball wasn't the problem of ball mice, it was the axles on the inside that got gunked up
When I saw the picture at 1:04 I died laughing 😂
do a video on how the "nub style pointing sticks" of thinkpads work. I've always been intrigued.
I too have always been curious about how the Trackpoint works. I've got an old IBM M13 keyboard that has it between the G, H, and B key and love it. I've also got a black one, which I believe is the only model that was released in that color.
I actually licked the pencil eraser more than the early touchpads.
You got me at first I was ready to cry
Next: History of keyboard
For that, you should ask Marcin Wichary, or read his book!
