The Sony mouse was just a pathetic attempt to rescue themselves when they realized they were repeating the Betamax mistake. Few people had any practical use for them and the proprietary nature meant nobody licensed the tech. I had a reader in my Vaio desktop but if I had chosen to use it, I would have had to carry an adapter around with me everywhere. Plus, I got my first flash drive shortly after I bought the PC. It was 128MB IIRC and a 128 MB memory stick would have been at least $100. I think the flash drive was around $30 and was one of the first affordable ones on the market.

And, honestly the graphics "upgrades" in 4 are not impressive enough either. If the Sims mouse were a better mouse (it looks like its cheap) the mood gimmick would be kinda cool.

In the days where people were recording songs off of the radio via tape... I mean it is pretty cool honestly to be able to record at the comfort of sitting at your PC. Your timing wouldn't even have to be "as exact" on starting / stopping recording as splitting up wave files via a basic sound file editor would be way easier than trying to find the right place in the tape to record over, etc. It would make "ripping" songs from the radio so much easier, that software is actually very cool. He didn't touch on the scheduling thing, but if you had this going on say a work PC, or someone staying at home, you could listen to your favorite morning talk show, then have it tune to the station of your choice at 9AM or 10AM or whatever for your preferred tunes without needing to think about or stop what you are doing and tune the radio yourself.

I can see the practicality of the memory stick reader in the mouse. PCs in the late 90s, if they did have USB, probably had no more than 2 ports, and there's a good chance at least one of them was flakey, or each one didn't recognize hardware without reinstalling the drivers if you switched your hardware from one USB port to the other. Then, as you demonstrated, you often got the dreaded blue screen.

In Europe Teletext was popular. I had a TV card which cached every page broadcast for instant access which was far better than the TVs which would take 20 seconds for the next page to come around. I still have a Hauppauge TV card with hardware MPEG compression in my media centre PC.

@@MrDuncl I grew up with teletext on the tv, not that i really used it much, but i don't recall ever using it on the pc's tuner card. Can't remember exactly when we got the card, but i'm fairly certain it was before teletext ended. I think it just wasn't something i really thought to do.

@@markc1793 Teletext as we knew it ended in 2012. I got the card in around 1999 fitting it in my Celeron 500PC. Back then my internet package was 56K dial up, limited to a about 8 hours a month so I spent more time looking at Teletext than the internet.

It's actually rather funny, I think the The Sims Mouse is actually far more aesthetically pleasing than most "gaming mice" these days. That nice big window, the plumbob sitting there, it has a glossy (I'd imagine) white finish. It's very clean, no overblown logo, no weird "we're trying to be the absolute most ergo thing on earth" overdesign, it's just "simple". It's very Apple but in a good way -- (like you don't need a subscription fee and the logo isn't burned into the back of your neck when you sell your soul, but then again, EA's overmonetization, the literal thousands of dollars of content that makes DOA6 look like the best deal on earth, the terrible deals that only mildly inch you closer, the lack of an actual subscription for EA Play that just grants you everything instead of spending all of that, including the fact that Sims 5 has been announced, so Sims 4 will likely be a ghost town in a year after release... Wait.. Aren't they the same?).

It's actually surprising that the FM mouse is actually USB controlled, I was fully expecting one of those two-button ones (one scans for the next, the other resets, no way to go back one station)

Oh yeah this reminds me. Someone has probably already told you but Target got some novelty shaped mice for valentines (of all things?) in the dollar area. They aren't quite as weird as the ones you showcase on the channel but it somehow warms the heart to know someone out there is still making weird computer mice. (and I know it will be crap but. I. I kinda do want the strawberry one its very cute and I'd never use it)

I think that the radio mouse is the most interesting to me. I have always been interested in having a radio that you can use through a computer interface. That interest never really went beyond that as it was never that interesting to me. I think what I liked the most is the fact that unlike other music that relies on some sort of internet connection at the very least, the fm signal is free.

If you’re interested in trying this quickly/easily check out the RTL-SDR sticks. They repurpose a chip designed for DVB stuff into a receiver that allows listening to any radio signal

@@dwroberts Just to clarify you can use a standard DVB stick costing about £20. It is modified driver software that gives it all the Software Defined Radio capabilities.

Duuude, as a kid/ early teen in the late 90's/ early 2000's, I'd have loved that radio mouse. The kind of thing you'd find on discount at Big Lots. That tuner software looks like it'd go well next to WinAmp. I was poor af and had a pretty basic eMachines computer, and a "demo" copy of 'Real Jukebox' that'd I'd use to copy CD's over (92kbps was the max unless you paid up). But man, being able to use this to copy radio stations would have been great! I'd have probably maxed it out trying to record the entire radio stream. Also, I love those WinME backgrounds. That old house one was easily the best.

THE RADIO MOUSE IS SO DUMB! 😂 It could have just been an external fm tuner with software, why WHY THE MOUSE? The program and functionality was actually pretty solid it seems, why tie it to a cheap mouse for no reason?
