The first mouse was invented in 1963 by Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute with Bill English. The original mouse was a blocky device which was larger than a man’s hands. The term mouse comes from the wire of most mice that makes the device look like it has a tail like a mouse. Modern computer mice have had many innovations including a trackball replacing the wheels of the early mice, lasers replacing the trackballs and wireless mice without a cable to connect to the computer.
The idea of customized specialized looks in mice is nothing new. A television program in the United Kingdom called Dragon’s Den showed off a mouse shaped like a car, called the Motormouse a few years back, getting me excited about the idea. The car is similar in some respects in shape to the traditional mouse. ROAD MICE has taken the idea of a car-shaped computer mouse and delivered it to the US market. Today’s review is on the Road Mice Chevrolet Camaro wired computer mouse, so let’s take a look at this licensed mouse based on a classic American car.
