My keyboard/mice sets came in today.

Arce and I bought 2 complete keyboard + mice sets on ebay as well as an extra mouse. That puts us at a total of 3 complete mouse/keyboard sets. For those of you who didn't know (because I would've never admitted it), I had never used a Dreamcast mouse before.
I had a single keyboard with a converter that allows PC keyboards (apparently not mice) to operate on the DC.
I'm absolutely amazed at the precision and accuracy the DC mice offer. I mean, holy crap! Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament really play better on DC than PC with these two. The controls were the only things the PC versions had on the DC, IMO.
Anyway, this partains to development in a couple of ways. Now I have an awesome new peripheral to develop for and mess with, and those of you who are fortunate enough to own a mouse/keyboard can look forward to support for these peripherals in future releases of mine.
I seriously recommend anybody who doesn't have a mouse or keyboard to get the hell on ebay and buy them. I got 2 complete sets and a bonus mouse for under $30 including shipping. You just can't beat that.
