Description

Kensington Turbo Mouse Plus v3.0 - Model 62358 – Trackball for 1984 Macs

Despite its name, the Turbo Mouse is actually a trackball! This is a very original and very rare item for pre-ADB Macs: 128k, 512k and Plus. It connects to the computer using a standard DB-9 connector and provides a pass-through port to add a standard Mac mouse. THIS ITEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY OTHER MACS.

The unit is in amazing cosmetic condition with no obvious discoloration! The ball looks like a pool 8-ball! Very clean unit with smooth cursor movement -fully tested and fully functional. Note that unlike most laptop trackballs of the same period which used rubber rollers which deteriorated with time, this trackball uses much more durable metal rollers!

Includes the Turbo Mouse Plus with the “8-ball”, the original cable to connect it to the Mac and the original software disk (untested).

Despite this unit having been tested and found to be fully functional, it IS almost 30 years old technology and as such, there is no guarantee offered or implied for continued functioning. This lot is being sold as-is with no returns accepted.
