Well well.. It is made by Mouse Systems and is model M4.. This is what it all says Made in Singapore for MSC Technologies, Inc. MOUSE SANTA CLARA, CA 95051 SYSTEMS U.S. Pat.4364035,4546347 LOGO Model M4 Then it has some stuff about machine type and FCC regs.. This is a VERY nice mouse. It measures about 2" x 3 1/2" x 3/4". The mirrored pad is about 10" x 8". Under the mouse there is two sensors. One is red light the other is infra-red. The red light detects sideways movement the infra-red detects up/down. The pad is tiled with fine blue-lines. This 'breaks' the light detections and hence is regarded as movement in one unit. The finer the mesh on the pad the more 'movement' is detected. Does anyone out there have any idea on cost on these things?
