Editing Commodore Amiga (section)

== Controller ports ==
All Amiga models came with two [[Atari_interface|Commodore 64-compatible DE-9 controller ports]].
In addition to support for light pen and various game controllers, there was also
dedicated hardware for a [[Bus mouse#Commodore_Amiga_and_PC|bus mouse]] in each port.

A two-button ball mouse was included as standard with every Amiga running AmigaOS, for its graphical user interface. Amiga Unix, the Amiga 3000UX mouse and some third-party mice used a third mouse button.
A second Amiga mouse is used only in some two-player games, but the second port's circuitry could also be used for rotary controllers such as steering wheels.

=== Mouse usage ===
If the right mouse button is pressed a menu bar appears at the top of the screen. A menu item is selected by releasing the right button when hovering the pointer above it. Releasing the mouse button elsewhere cancels.

Third-party utilities were available that replaced (or complimented) the menu bar with a pop-up menu underneath the mouse pointer.

After having booted into AmigaOS, it supported [[mouse keys]] as combinations with the two [[Amiga key]]s.

Aftermarket mice in the late '90s added a scroll wheel and up to three more buttons.

=== Mouse models ===
The "Tank mice" for the Amiga have an angular exterior similar to the Commodore 1350 and 1351 "tank mice" for the [[Commodore 64]], but they differ in their [[Atari interface#Mice and trackballs|signals]]. All Amiga mice are [[Bus mouse|bus mice]].

* Amiga 600 mouse. Both buttons are the same size. Ball forward.
* Amiga CD32 mouse. Like the 1253 but grey and the Amiga CD³² logo printed on top.

===Retro mice===
''TheA500 Mini'' from Retro Games Ltd in the UK is an upcoming "mini retro console" resembling the [[Commodore Amiga 500|Amiga 500]]. It comes with a matching "Tank" mouse that talks USB<ref name="thea500mini">Retro Games Ltd—[https://retrogames.biz/thea500-mini The A500 MINI]. Retrieved 2021-09-19</ref> but it is smaller than the original.
The mouse is also available to order separately.

There exist optical kits for the "tank" mouse, but those remain [[Bus mouse#Commodore Amiga|bus mice]] for genuine Amiga computers.
