The only good thing about the ST mouse was that you could use it in confined spaces. It was possible to lift the mouse a bit, twist your wrist, and scuff the pointer across the screen - I called it "ballistic mousing".

I actually built a just-swap-the-pins adapter to use a Xerox Star mouse on my ST.

I can't imagine being able to get my hands on a Xerox Star mouse in the 80s. Hell, I would have given $$ just to see a Xerox Star in person.
