Elbox Computer announces the Mroocheck PC Mouse Interface, a microprocessor based adapter for attaching any PC mouses, trackballs, glidepoints and radio-controlled mouses to all models of Amiga computers. Read more below. Mroocheck is simply connected between a PC mouse and the Amiga Mouse port. It supports all PC serial and combo mouses working in the following protocols: Mouse System format, Microsoft format, Microsoft format with Logitech extension.

Mroocheck converts these serial protocols to the Amiga Mouse Port format including all the specific features like the middle (3rd) button support or high resolution. This conversion is made by the interface microprocessor so NO additional software drivers are required. The interface start to work simultaneous with computer's start, so it could be used in the early-startup-menu (unlike the mouses connected through the serial port).

Mroocheck recognizes vertical and horizontal mouse wheels movements and converts them to Amiga analog joysticks signals.

Mroocheck.driver converts Amiga analog joysticks signals (of horizontal and vertical wheels movements) from Mroocheck PC Mouse Interface to input events for input.device.

Wheel movements are transmitted independent of (simultaneous with) mouse movements and three mouse buttons.

Mroocheck allows scrolling in both directions (horizontal and vertical), even in mouses fitted only with one wheel!

Switching directions (from vertical to horizontal) is obtained by holding the 3rd button simultaneous with the wheel movement.

Mroocheck suggested retailed price: EUR 30.00

Ofcourse it is. It's the second generation.
Elbox made first the PC-Mouse I/F which is
the same as the Punchinello. Others sell it
with just another name...

Hasn't this been done like, a thousand times before? Does anybody even like roller balls in their mouse or weird gadgets?

In reply to Comment 5 (Plain English):
No, I don't like roller balls (if you mean track balls) but I do like thumb wheels and the like.
I am such a bad typist (even after 20 years:) I take all the help I can get-
thumb wheels for scrolling, extra buttons for cut-n-paste, etc. whatever I can
get!
BTW. did/does anyone see the neat new mouse from VMC ?(http://www.vmc.de/ger_vmc_main.html)
I gotta get one !
