The

Commodore

1350

Mouse

The

Commodore

1350

Mouse

isacontroller

designed

for

use

with

the

Commodore

128

computer.

It

featuresaball

on

the

underside

that

is

rolled

uponaflat

surface

to

manipulate

the

onscreen

activity,

and

two

fire

buttons.

What

you

can

actually

do

with

your

mouse

depends

on

the

software

program

you

use

it

with.

You

can

select

icons,

draw

pictures,

moveacursor,

play

games—just

about

anything

you

needacontroller

for.

The

left

fire

button

is

the

which

is

usually

active.

The

right

fire

button

may

also

be

functional,

depending

on

the

software

application.

The

1350

Mouse

plugs

into

either

the

JOYSTICK

CONTROL

PORTS

on

the

right

side

of

the

C128,

exactly

as

plug

inajoystick.

Mouse

Cleaning

Since

the

ball

of

your

mouse

must

roll

freely

to

accurately

manipulate

the

cursor

(or

whatever)

on

the

screen,

it's

important

that

the

ball

remain

free

of

dirt

or

debris.

This

is

easily

accomplished

by

sliding

out

the

plastic

piece

holding

the

ball

in

place.

Remove

the

ball

and

wipe

it

off

withasoft

cloth,

such

as

a

handkerchief.

To

remove

any

dirt

or

dust

from

the

ball

area,

just

blow

gently

into

the

opening.

Around

the

top

of

the

opening,

there

are

three

metal

rollers.

To

clean

these,

takeacotton-tipped

swab,

moistened

with

head

cleaning

fluid

or

alcohol,

and

gently

clean

the

surface

of

each

roller.

Replace

the

ball

inside

the

controller

and

snap

the

plastic

piece

back

on.

Mouse

Tips

Proper

care

and

use

of

your

mouse

mainly

requires

common

sense.

Use

your

mouse

onaclean,

smooth

surface.

Make

sure

you

have

adequate

desktop

space

to

manipulate

your

mouse,

so

you

don't

have

to

constantly

pick

up

and

reposition

it.

Don't

hold

the

mouse

by

its

cord,

or

let

the

body

of

the

mouse

hang

off

the

table.

Mouses

don't

react

well

to

being

dropped.
