That's not exactly correct becase of the way Apple labels it's mice.
A few years ago I had reason to take apart a large number of 9 pin
mice. I believe I found 5 different designs of mice with the M0100
part number. Also each of those designs was also found with two or
more different part numbers. I'm guessing that all the designs of
mice had the same part # and when they overhauled their inventory
system, they just started using a different part number.
