A $300 PC mouse from 1989, Soviet Russia

There you have it — the pinnacle of modern technology, in 1989 Soviet Russia, at least. Recently, someone decided to unearth this gem and share the nostalgic find with the internet. Craziest thing about it? This bad boy was almost US$ 300 (Rs 18,678 approx).

For those who can read Russian, the box explains the newfangled device's benefits. According to the website EnglishRussia: "It is the most comfortable graphic input device. You can move a cursor or piece of graphics across the screen, paint or use in business."

Useful information, especially if you've never seen a computer mouse before. These partially handdrawn blueprints are also (sort of) enlightening.

You know, it actually doesn't look like such a dinosaur when you compare it to a modern mouse. It might even work, if you could find an adapter for this thing.
