Re: Mice are not particularly intuitive
I don't know, all you need to know about controlling it you can get from accidentally nudging it and seeing the cursor move, even if you originally thought that it should be used in the air as per the story.
Even if you don't do that, just take a look. Back then it would have had two buttons (no scroll wheel) and the ball.
Well, that's three possible sources of input to try. Left click, right click, move the ball.
Oh! the ball moves the arrow on the screen! maybe I shouldn't be waving it around in the air, as it obviously needs something to move it, maybe by rolling across the desk as the mouse moves?
