The Evolution of the Apple Mouse [PICS]

Apple’s product design is legendary in the industry for innovation, inspiration and imagination, but it’s often the more glamorous products such as the MacBooks, iPhones and iPods that get all the attention.
With this in mind,just thought we’d take a look at Apple’s input device — the humble mouse — to see how the design has changed from way back in the early 80s right up to today.
The evolution of the Apple mouse makes for an interesting design journey that includes the loss of its tail, moving from a single button to touch, and of course going from beige to multi-colored and back to a monotone.
