Just got mine from Sordan, and with the bluetooth dongle it works flawlessly on my 1200. Very happy with it.

The fact people seem to have scrolling issues on both Windows and original hardware would indicate it's a hardware/design fault with the touch scroll. Whether it's due to mass production or something else?
It's a tad disappointing as these issues could and should have been picked up during design with some basic beta testing. |

Didn't take long. Mines now broken, well to be specific the DB9 to USB is broken. The mouse cursor moves and jitters randomly over the screen. It works OK in Windows.

Thank you, fixed. I guess it's easy on boot trying to do two fingers to accidentally switch modes. |

I then also realised that it seemed to be permanently pressing the right mouse button (my ClassicWB startup would keep bringing up an early selection menu that's triggered by holding a button down during boot) and the WB menus were permanently on display. I realise that it's not the same as testing on real hardware, but seeing as the MiST core supports real Amiga mice, that should still work correctly with the adaptor. |

The more comments I read here the more I start regretting having purchased 3 from Sordan…
Strange product… |

The DB9 ports of MiST are limited, not real DB9 Amiga ports. Anyway there is an option to use a real Amiga Mouse in those ports, certainly not tested for wireless adaptor or similar. |

Whilst the MiST DB9 ports aren't 100% identical to those on a real Amiga, the fact that a) the MiST Amiga core allows the use of real Amiga mice, and b) the DB9 adaptor should work on a real Amiga (i.e. the adaptor should make the mouse behave as a real wired mouse), I'd have expected it to function accurately. It does work, to a point, but it's not without issues. As I said in my last post, I know this isn't exactly the same as testing on real hardware, however based on the two points above, I'd have expected it to work correctly. I'll try and test on true hardware in the next couple of days. Last edited by Total Eclipse; 03 May 2023 at 18:00. |

I believe it shares the same problem under NON original hardware with the one we have on V4SA's using HID2AMI driver.
The response from the developer of HID2AMI (sampedenawa) was the following: Quote:

Got my Tank mouse yesterday. Two of the black ones actually. I verified it works with the M2 MacBook Air. I'm hopeful it will work on my Vampire V4.

I'm happy to report that I've tried the DB9 adaptor on my A1200 and have no issues at all, so my previous testing looks to be an incompatibility with the 9 pin ports on the MiST.

If it's a V4SA... it won't work. If the Tank Mouse DB9 driver share same Read/Write functions then V4SA won't support it as it doesn't support writes to DB9 by design. |

I expect same results on real HW if nothing is connected to mouse port. (Or maybe this is left mouse button in output mode + 3910788-01 CIA that works differently than other variants -feature?) |

I got my tankmouse today and i am really happy with how it feels. The only issue i have is that i can only scroll downwards. If i scroll up i can see the scroll bar on the window flicker but it will still only scroll down.
I installed the driver for it from Aminet but still the same. I am using it on a A1200. Nevermind im dumb. I had not commented out the HID2AMI driver in user startup. Working flawlessly now Last edited by Jolabandola; 08 May 2023 at 16:55. |

I received my pair of black mice and DB9 adapters from Poland and unpacked today. Pretty nice. Arrived much quicker than the projected 2 months. Happy so far.

Hi ! I've lost the piece of paper which explains how to switch between Amiga, ST, C64 modes and I think I switched it by mistake, oops ! Can anyone remind me of the procedure ?
Thanks |

Press the RMB, and the LED should change to red. Change the number of flashes using the LMB (1 = Amiga, 2 = ST, 3 = C64). Press the RMB to save the option. Last edited by Total Eclipse; 16 May 2023 at 12:23. |
