Is it some silly anti static thing for records?

Prototype of the first computer mouse

My first thought was ‘original computer mouse prototype’ …but that switch on the top made me think of the switch Bill Murray uses on a student in Ghostbusters… so perhaps it’s one of those 😂😂😂

Wait never mind I got the math wrong, we're a decade short. Delete your guesses everyone

Can you imagine what it felt like to use one when indirect pointers just…didn’t exist otherwise?

First computer mouse!

It has a second roller for left and right!

I was thinking computer mouse but then I pictured the roller underneath was like a steamroller

Is it an old timey mouse? It looks like it should be an old timey mouse.
