We’ve had a small hitch with the hardware. It seems the tiny travel mouse I was using has given up the ghost, so I’ve decided to switch to the mouse from the children’s computer. (Sorry kids if you’re reading this. If I forget to put it back when I’m finished with it just let me know 😉 )

This mouse is an old 5 button Microsoft intellimouse explorer. It’s my absolute favourite mouse design and one I’ve used on all my PCs for as long as I can remember. (I’d guess at around 20 years, lol)

The extra button on either side work as back/forward buttons for internet browsing, which is amazingly helpful.

These mice are as tough as old nails. Even after hundreds of thousands of clicks the buttons still click reassuringly when pressed.

Fingers crossed none of the other hardware packs up!
