AMX Mouse
AMX Mouse was a 1985 computer mouse sold by the British company Advanced Memory Systems.[1] The 3 button mouse was sold with a dedicated interface, and usually with some accompanying software such as AMX Art, AMX Pagemaker, AMX Palette, AMX Control and Icon Designer.[2]
It was targeted at the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and BBC micro[3] market, popular home computers at the time. As such, it allowed modern user interfaces to be present in common household machines.
It was compatible with art software such as OCP Advanced Art Studio[4] or Max Desktop.[5] The game Starglider is also listed as being compatible.[6]
