In the beginning, the Applemouse II was different from Mac mice. The button
was bigger and the same color as the rest of the mouse in addition to the 
other differences. Later on, in the platinum era, Apple started using the 
old Mac style for II's. So from around the time the memory expandable //c 
and grey //e came out until Apple phased out II hardware, you got a mouse 
like that which came with grey Mac Pluses.

Of course, the Lisa/XL, Mac 128/512/Plus, Applemouse II use the same mouse
design. They just look different. I got an Applemouse II for my //e when 
they came out in '84, but I use the old Mac style mouse instead now.
