What Apple announced

Apple Mighty Mouse

Accessories · Pointing devices · discontinued 7 August 2007

The Apple Mouse (A1152) (formerly Mighty Mouse) was a multi-control USB mouse manufactured by Mitsumi Electric and sold by Apple Inc. It was announced and sold for the first time on August 2, 2005, and a Bluetooth version was available from 2006 to 2009. Before the Mighty Mouse, Apple had sold only one-button mice with its computers, beginning with the Apple Lisa 22 years earlier. The Mighty Mouse supported two buttons, and a miniature trackball for scrolling.

On October 20, 2009, the wireless Mighty Mouse was discontinued and replaced by the multi-touch Magic Mouse. The wired version of the device remained available, but was renamed the Apple Mouse, due to trademark issues with another manufacturer of a device named Mighty Mouse. As of June 5, 2017, the Apple Mouse is no longer available to buy on Apple's website.
