Three Weird Old Computer Mice: Phasers, Pedals, & Little Tikes 

That would be epically hilarious.

Only if one of the other player has that boob mouse from LGR videos of old xD

The new mouse preferred by CS pro players

😆

@@2Scribble Oh, then I need to watch that video next...

Yup

Yea, it Should!

U got your wish

Just needs the peanut butter proof keyboard back and he's got a pro level setup.

@@Diecastreviews don't forget about the baguette wrist support, never gonna make it if you don't have it

It's a perfect way to start the new year too

@@finonevado8891 Can't leave for the LAN party without a wood-grain headset

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.

Would that make it Clint's daily driver?

your icon is such nostalgia for me. wow. what was that sheep called again?

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.

good avatar

Nice avatar! So much memories.

,but mom you don't understand my friends have one to and I will get the most kills I HAVE TO HAVE THIS MOUSE!

Was it awful?

@@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.

@@yukikofujiwara2144 never liked that pedal, too much clean signal leaks through, but that’s a general overdrive thing

@@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.

guys its about the mouse

Me the smell

Somewhere in the distance Josh of JHS Pedals has been disturbed.

@@JonManProductions He probably has the box.

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...

ds-1 settings that are useful: vol 9, dis 0, tone 0, then it works as a booster

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 🤔

I had a mouse mouse. It was furry and cute but you had to poke its eyballs.

Can blame that trend on strange phone handsets.

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.

Well hello, stranger!

To be fair Jeff had to connect the mouse to a server as nothing else had a serial port

@@engrpiman usb to serial adapter, they cost like $5-10.

It was an attempt at a joke. I do have some usb to serial adapters but I have not tested to see if they work with mice.

@@engrpiman Well I'm not in the loop and have no context for what the joke was supposed to be.

That was my thought, too! Attention to detail 11/10

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.

@@nettils5555 why not ?

@@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.

@@nettils5555 Also I'm curious why does it seem to matter so much to you?

@@CommodoreFan64 i think the concern is internet access ig but like. thats easy to take care of 💀

@@nhilz Yep, don't give it internet access unless required to do updates for the very secure Linux Distro Solus, or to download more games off STEAM, and keep them updated, otherwise pull the WiFi dongle.

Ah yes, the all time favorite computer mouses: Logitech MX518, Microsoft (Wheel Mouse Optical) IntelliMouse, and the Cozy Coupe Computer Mouse.

Then imagine that friend absolutely mops the floor with it.

I think I saw that mouse in a movie with Tim Robbins and Ryan Phillippe.

You beat me to the comment! That was the first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail with the little tikes mouse.

That's the name!!! I knew I'd seen it before.

It wasn't until now that I realised it wasn't something mocked up for the movie, but a real product.

I never knew this was a real product until this LGR vid….I remember them being featured in the film though

Put it in front of a Marshall JCM 800 amp, let's see if we can p*$s off the neighbors with it 😆

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 ^_^

@@Arti9m ah that's a fun idea. Were the left and right mouse buttons wired as the pedal on/off stomp control?

Come on, we both know you really want an MT-2 mouse.

I'd love to have the SD-1 mouse! Does it DOOM, though? 😂

True

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.

...while storing those CDs in your Enterprise model CD holder!

@@RocketRoosterFilmsit would need a DVD with _“Yesterday’s Enterprise”_ on it for the C-D.

The expansion comes pretty close

@@hingeslevers Walking around the ship is pretty much all I did, never got very far in the campaign.

And you thought that's weird, you haven't seen him play Unreal Tournament with it, yet.

You clicked on this because of the Boss pedals, didn't you?

praying for mode dos gaming

@@JonManProductions You like Krabby Patties, don’t you Squidward?

@@JonManProductions I wouldn't mind having one of those not gonna lie, haha.

​@@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 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.

Or a pedal? :-D

@@rastas_4221 Maybe run something like a mute pedal inbetween the microphone and the audio interface?

​@@rastas_4221 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

Kinda related, both TC and SSL have made hardware plugin controllers so you can manipulate a software plugin with physical knobs

CompUSA becoming Tiger Direct was the beginning of the end

I just commented on how sad I was to have missed these back in the day

I want a kid version of UT

If Josh doesn't already have one, he's about to buy it, then it will show up in a JHS vid and their prices will skyrocket...

I NEVER KNEW THAT WHAT

*mice

Ok.
