TARGUS Scroller Mini Mouse Model #PAUM002 (USB and PS/2 Compatible With Adaptor)

Circa Early 2000's

Use Case:

A portable, space-saving input device, particularly for use with laptops by travelers and in compact work environments. It is a simple, wired, plug-and-play peripheral with basic three-button functionality (left, right, and a clickable scroll wheel). Its small dimensions made it a practical option for those needing an external mouse on the go.

Historical Significance:

Historically significant as a specific example of the "mini mouse" trend during the late 1990s and early 2000s, designed to cater to the increasing popularity and portability of laptops. It was part of TARGUS's broader strategy as a leading provider of mobile accessories and laptop cases. The mouse's use of a scroll wheel solidified this feature as standard for navigation during an era of significant transition in computer peripherals.
