The Lisa1 mouse that I have does not have a metal ball but a hard rubber
one.It does have the clip connector end and is model number A9M0050. There
is also a Apple logo cut into the left lower corner of the mouse. I will
check my other mice when I get over to the warehouse later today.

> #1 - Original Lisa Mouse (Lisa and possibly early Lisa2?): Had a metal
> ball, long rectangular button, and a "clip"-type retension mechanism on
> the connector. The mouse port on the Lisa did NOT have metal around the
> connector as is common on DB-9 female connectors. Instead, there was a
> plastic "lip" to which the retension clip on the mouse would mate. The
> bottom of the mouse was sloped and did not have a sharp angle like the
> M0100 mice. The mouse had a tan colored cord.

> #2 - (Early Lisa2?): Same as #1 but with standard DB-9 connector instead
> of the clip-type retension mechainism. Each thumbscrew had an Apple logo
> embossed at the ends.

> #3 - Early M0100 (Possibly later Lisa2/Mac XL): Button was not as
> slender as the Original Lisa Mouse and had a standard DB-9 male
> connector instead of the clip-type retension mechanism. Each thumbscrew
> had an Apple logo embossed at the ends. Both the button and cord were
> tan colored.
>
> #4 - Later M0100 (Apple II?): Same as Early M0100 but had a gray button
> and cord instead of the tan button and cord. The thumbscrews did not
> have the embossed Apple logos and were somewhat thinner. The internal
> mechanism was also slightly different than the Early M0100 and are not
> interchangable.
