32-bit acorn hardware • Re: Trumouse vs Smallymouse

I need to get a mouse working to get any control over my RiscPC. As far as I can see, these are the only alternatives to an old mouse or soldering, neither of which is feasible for this clumsy git. However, one is £30 and one is £50, and I can find no information as to features and benefits anywhere.
One is true original opensource, one is uncredited 'borrowed' opensource. TruMouse is a nominally cuter form-factor. AFAIK, compatibility with USB devices is equivalent on both (I own both, have tested both). I might be persuaded to build a WeeMouse if you wish - I also have nice wireless USB mice to go with them. I've also got spare PS2MouseMinis available, which allow use of a PS2 mouse - and the benefit of that over other solutions at present (until I get the WeeMouse firmware updated...) is that it supports mousewheel, which is in turn directly supported by RISC OS 4.39 / RO SIX. I've also-also got a huge box of failed original Acorn mice I really need to get around to fixing #-o Pick your poison.
