I am liking the two black Amiga Boing Ball logo USB mice that I got from you at the AmiWest 2010 Show. When can I get a couple more just like them, but with a MorphOS blue butterfly sticker in place of the Boing Ball?

I don't mind using a Boing Ball logo mouse on my MorphOS2.6 computers, but I think you could also make some sales if you checked on what it would cost to produce a small run of mice with the MorphOS blue butterfly on them. I would buy two, and I will tell a friend to buy two, etc., etc., etc., .........

I thought the price to have a customized mouse (or two) was very reasonable and did not hesitate getting them the first time I saw their quality and looks.

Can I get one of the stickers to put on the brand new CDTV mouse I want to buy from you? Or better yet, can you just put one of those same nice Boing Ball stickers on one of your new CDTV mice for me and let me know what the extra charge is going to be, above the regular price for a new CDTV mouse?

Thanks again for supporting the Amiga community with your fine products and services.

People care too much about stickers.

Now, what I want is a new _real_ Amiga keyboard - A1000, A600 or regular style - USB, with programmable LEDs - and I'd prefer _real_ Amiga logo on it, the checkmark!

Actually I think the Amiga 2000 keyboard was the best so easy/fast to type on 1

My mother always said that if I didn't have something nice to say then not to say anything at all. For once I'll listen to my mother.

Wow, I'm glad I'm not selling anything Amiga related. You guys are brutal.

It's not vaporware, it's not overpriced and AmigaKit isn't just out to milk our community.

Seems better than the Microsoft mouse I'm using on my Amiga.

@Thread,

It is a nice mouse and why not use a mouse with a nice 3D Boing Ball sticker on it, than one without? I don't know about the AmigaOne keyboards, as I did not get one, or try one out yet, but if it works just as well or better than my extra Dell keyboard that I sometimes use with a MorphOS computer, why not buy and use it to support an EXCELLENT Amiga retailer?

I don't understand any negative comments regarding the sales of these items. And you are right, AmigaKit is not out to "milk" our community! What, by selling mice and keyboards they are raping our community? I don't think so. The price I paid for the mice seemed perfectly normal to me, given that it had been customized, which takes time, effort and the cost of the sticker itself. If you don't like the mice or keyboards with their stickers, don't buy them, but please don't try to make AmigaKit out to be a thief in our community.
