Fake IBM mouse
« on: Tue, 04 February 2014, 05:06:42 »
Lenovo made a cute little mouse with a wheel and branded it IBM.  I tried to buy another one on Ebay but it was a fake: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/7500206@N08/sets/72157640484794476/>

Thanks bud, but it's well known that most input devices are fake on Ebay, the front store for fakes.  Just depends how good quality the fake is, some of them just might be as good as the original (aka., Razer DA's for instance).

WMO's are another range of fakes currently being sold around on Ebay.

Nice Taiwanese made device.  Yep the scroll would be the most difficult to install without making it look dodgey in the extreme.
