History

It was first announced and marketed on August 2, 2005, and a Bluetooth version was available from 2006 to 2009. Before the Mighty Mouse, Apple had sold exclusively single-button mice with its computers, starting from the Apple Lisa 22 years before. On October 20, 2009, the wireless Mighty Mouse was discontinued and replaced by the multi-touch Magic Mouse. The wired version of the device remains available, but was renamed "Apple Mouse" from the same date, due to trademark disputes with another manufacturer of a device called "Mighty Mouse".

Trivia

• In 2005 the Mighty Mouse represented a revolution for Apple, moving from the traditional single button used for 22 years (since the time of the Apple Lisa) to a multi-button device. • The Bluetooth version of the Mighty Mouse was available from 2006 to 2009, allowing Apple users to free themselves from cables for the first time in the history of their mice. • In 2009 Apple was forced to rename the mouse from "Mighty Mouse" to "Apple Mouse" due to trademark issues with another manufacturer with the same name.
