You may love the original Amiga mice (and, to be fair, they're very pleasant, as inanimate objects go) but, like the rest of us, they ain't getting any younger. A suitable upgrade is a necessity, and as my old A600 mouse bit the big one, this adapter was one I was very keen to try out.

I’m just back from proper testing now, and pleased to report some really good results. For reference, I tried three devices: an £8.99 Microsoft Basic (https://amzn.to/3b4t59J), a __£25 Corsair Raptor M40, and a __£70 Alienware 610M wireless mouse.

The Corsair was a bust, as I expected. Used with a USB tester I have, it showed that it pulled too many amps for the adapter to cope with. Fair enough, and what I expected - It does have about a gajillion buttons, for a start.

The MS mouse worked flawlessly. A very good device indeed, and a must buy at around £9. Especially in white, as it almost matches the Amiga’s case.

What was a fantastic surprise was the Alienware mouse, whose wireless capability worked perfectly. This is 2.4Ghz, not Bluetooth (which wouldn’t work with this adapter) but opens you up to a whole bunch of potential devices.

In summary an excellent adapter, solidly constructed, that both literally and figuratively transforms your mouse usage :)
