Most used hardware for mouse?

[VintageAdvantage]

Isn't DKTronics only a memory expansion? [Edit, oh, I didn't know about DK Tronics Mouse interface]Historically, yes, AMX mouse is well known, but if, say, Orion Prime 2 is released, what would people would use, or be ready to buy, if they wanted to play with a mouse (provided the game would support it of course)?I'm pretty sure that would be Albireo.

Not sure what Orion Prime is, never heard of it. Do I need to buy a proprietary hacker mouse to play it?

You seem to have an agenda - "push the Alberto". Very subtle!

It's a game, check out my signature. It does NOT support mouse. My question was, if I had to make another game, and wanted to support mouse, what interface would I have to support.

Dk Tronic does not need any particular "driver" it seems. It's "only" a Joystick mouse, right?

You, me, CPC users?

May it possible to add albireo support ?

+ DKtronics
+ AMX

Historically and in terms of supporting software, these are the most important ones.
The other ones you listed seem to be hobby / CPC hacker projects.
Let's make sure to get the priorities right in terms of important hardware first. Thanks.

What counts is which mice are used today. Not what happened in the past.

And you are a troll - very obvious.

Now I see - it is called "albireo"
Sorry bad vision - OLD!

Of course it IS possible. But I won't do it . Sorry, I don't bother with past projects.

As for my question: does the DK'Tronics mouse require a special handling (specific ports to read, etc.), or does any application that manages the joystick handles it?
