iMac Round Mouse

Bill Buxton's Notes

In Canada, this mouse is known as the Apple "hockey puck mouse." It came with the original iMac and it was a disaster. Being round, there were no cues as to the orientation in which you were holding it. So, you might move your hand up, and see the cursor go off to the side. It was quickly replaced. I keep one hanging by my desk, just to remind me that we are all fallible, no matter how good we, or others, think we are.
