"Guiles" mouse with 9-pin connector?

Old Fool · 26 May 2007, 16:32

I saw in a flea market a mouse that might be an amiga mouse. It had three buttons and text "Guiles". On the belly side there was text "mouse 600 -made in taiwan". The connector also had those screws to connect it more safely. Those screws made me think it would be a PC mouse but I'm not sure. It wasn't expensive but I didn'h have any money with me...

I googled and searched information but found nothing. Anyone got more guesses?

If the PC mouse has a moulded connector, you can look how many of the holes in the connector have an actual contact inside and how many are just empty holes. (the empty holes will be larger)

If there's only one or no empty holes, Amiga. If there's only like four or five connectors, PC.

Hehe np.. And by moulded I mean like on a joystick.. As you can see, most joysticks have pins 5 and 9 "blank".

If the connector has metal around it, then it's probably a PC mouse. (I know the original Amiga mice have metal there, but isn't it pretty obvious what those mice are for? :-)
