Many thanks to Nilo for the Apple IIc Mouse.

Apple Inc. is responsible for the mouse interface standard used by today’s computers.

Apple did not invent the mouse, but just like Apple’s popularization of the graphical operating system, the company made the mouse a fundamental part of the personal computer. The Apple mouse has been evolving since the early days of Lisa and Apple II.
