All the young kids I know hate them. They think everything is going to be a touchscreen.
Especially when it comes to casual games, literal screams of frustration trying to coordinate mice.
So, it’s a generational sandwich. Gen Alpha and Boomers are the bread, and the mousers are the meat?
I meant coordinate mice with onscreen movements, not with other mice!
Now you’ve got me imagining some sort of hellscape where there are different oldschool trackball mice strapped to someone’s hands and feet.
I have an old computer set up with a bunch of games for my kids that teach them how to use the mouse and keyboard. I think part of the problem is that kids aren’t really taught how to use computers anymore. I remember going to a computer lab in grade one and being taught how to use the mouse and keyboard, how to save files (to a floppy disk), how to close windows and open programs, etc. Apparently they don’t do that anymore. They just expect kids will figure it out on their own. My kids still definitely prefer touchscreens, but they don’t mind the mouse or touchpad either.
