A super strange accessory where the mouse is repurposed to be a yoke control for flight simulators. 20 comments
A rare Pioneer clone, complete with a rebranded mouse and keyboard. Speaking of clones, a cute logo from another (Japanese?) clone maker. It’s wild how the default font picker on Macs today still looks like this thing from 1987: After a unique first edition, Lisa 2 got its branding (and eventually its name) to be much closer to the Mac’s. Similarly to how the photos of the Mac in its first manual showed an earlier unreleased edition with a 5" Twiggy drive, Lisa’s early photos show a keyboard with temporary legends. This feels like a pretty ugly treatment of a modifier key in this Filco Mac keyboard. Some more keyboards. I’m sure these shapes are super nostalgic to some! Thank you James for inviting me!

A third-party trackball.
