C64 Mice

[Raven]

I know that the 1350 is for the C64, but what about the visually identical 1351 & 1352? Also, Amiga mice?

Amiga mice cannot be used on the C64/128. They are not interchangeable as they have different electronics mounted in their respective housings.

1350/1351 mice are C64 mice, however with some differences:

The 1350 is a "directional joystick," meaning that while it's mouse-shaped, it's a joystick, and can be used as such in all joystick games. (ref.)

The 1351 is a true mouse, but can emulate a joystick if booted with the right mouse button held down. (ref.)

Thanks for the clarification.

Anybody know about the 1352?

The 1352 is an Amiga mouse just similar in look to the C-64 mice. Different internal electronics.

That is why it is so important to look on the bottom side where there is a plate/sticker with model number. If the seller can't be bothered to turn the mouse around and have a look (given that the sticker still is there), there is no point in placing a bid no matter what the seller claims.

1351 mice are pretty pricy
1352 mice can almost be had for free (at least a few years ago, perhaps not today)
