Remembering Windows 3.1 themes and user empowerment

IMO the best mice ever are the Logitech MX Revolution and MX Master series that have an electronic clutch on the wheel. It's clicky by default but if you whip it the clutch unlocks and you can traverse an entire EULA in 0.6 seconds.

Some of their newer gaming mice have a half-ass version of this as well with a manual mechanical toggle.

The MX Master 3 takes this further by using an electropermanent magnet, which is technology I didn't know existed:

I have this mouse and didn't realize that's how it worked. I bet that technology could by applied to laptop keyboards to give them extra travel when the lid is open and tuck them down when the lid is closed.

I have one and I like it. It's not the best for gaming if you like lots of buttons but otherwise it's great.

That explains the explosion of scroll wheel complaints with the 3 over the 1 and 2.

I see your 0.6seconds and raise 0.2 seconds for my <End> key ;)

Is the EULA scroll the new Kessel Run?
