Actually, not all mice work with the //c, though I don't recall
specifically what the differences are, I know that I've had mice that
work on a IIe but not a //c and also some that work on a Mac Plus, but
not on a IIe... or something like that.

FWIW my first //c came with a boxed "Mouse //c" which is slightly
different from the standard beige model. The colour is somewhere between
platinum and beige and it has a sleeker appearance (less texture, button
is wider and same colour as body, more pronounced bevel at button end,
etc...). The part number is A2M4015. The colour of the mouse doesn't
match any part of any of my //c's, though it is almost a perfect match
for my //c+ (naturally, aging is probably a factor here)
