I think a tech channel as big as this should know ocr and Google translate exist…
You could go to some guy with that manual who would repair it. Since you had a scheme of the electric circuits in it. Sustainability. Absolutely without ClImAtE cHaNgE agenda. It is possble.
Damn linus hired Maurice Moss to be on the labs team
Anyone knows the sound effect at 0:26 just before linus said “wow linus”. its so familiar but i cant remember
Hey Linus, i believe you got the RUB to buck conversion way wrong, at this date sept 2023 the 150 RUB (rus) is eqv to amazing amount of 1.5 USD and 2.10 CAD 🙂 cool
You could have used your phone to take a picture and use the translation software there.
Thanks to the lab!
I think LTT should/could open some type of „Museum of weird Tech“. It would be sad to see such a unique piece get put into storage never to be seen again. The same goes for a lot of other things they bought over the years.
1:36 their hands were shaped like that, so they can get more rations in their hands, whenever there was available food that week.
Abslutely love this video. And kudos to the labs team on the reverse enginnering!
7:27 showing 'Raspberry Pi Pico W', but 'Raspberry Pi Pico' is used.
text is correct, just the wrong image.
Trying to get debugging to run on q pico at the moment… That's one of the only things I really don't like about it.. Otherwise an amazing piece is technology for about 5 bucks…
One thing which was sadly lost in translation – on the forum threads it was referred to as Martian girl, not just the Martian
With that in mind shape of the mouse raises even more concerns 😂
3:30
I thought he was going to play Doom Eternal not just Doom
That reset button makes this one of the coolest mouses. It's redundant with the universality of USB interfaces and wireless tech, but back in the day it would have made this mouse a game changer.
Consider removeing that russian flag in the background?
A little "Soviet chic", with that cute flag of mass murder and oppression in the background.
The "KH1" and "KH2" are short for the russian words "кнопка1"-"button 1" and "кнопка2"-"button 2"
1:57 salad fingers?
Why in the world were mice so expensive in Russia? Dude, they're mice. They're pieces of plastic with simple circuit boards in them that you could probably build yourself for less than $20, not some freaking overly-engineered pieces of military equipment.
cool that it works 🙂
As someone going to school for ECE, the process of figuring out the pinouts, and then deciphering the signals in order to use the mouse on a modern machine was definitely one of the most interesting things I've seen from this channel. It'd be cool if there were Labs specific videos where we get to see them work these types of problems out, and we could see the process in greater detail.

I bet much enjoyed the salad fingers reference
What’s the name of the game linus played at end?
Why aren't sleeper mice a thing. I would love to have a full feature modern gaming mouse built into the shell of a martian.
As a south european I found soviet symbols in the video more problematic, than the whole drama with GamerNexus and Madison…
Linus has literally become the kind of business person he warned everyone about
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself auction off all the trust and good will you've built up over the years
You should sell it as a classic LTT grift
hey linus and guys …i have watch your stuff for a very long time and jjust want to say keep it up and you guys rock
OUR gaming mouse
i loved the whole activision blizzard scandal. so happy ltt is joining in on sexually assaulting and harassing employees.
Head over to CircuitSpecialists and buy yourself a nice o-skilla-scope🤓
For a tech reviewing company you are behind on modern payment standards and workflows, but so is most of North America
lol
This kind of thrash is sold in russia for 10$
A tip for Russia electronic documents is you can use google lens to translate them
