History

In its third major redesign in 10 years, the Apple mouse abandoned its square shape for rounded lines. The basic design has been maintained in current models and has been widely adopted by other mouse manufacturers as well. It was included with all Macintosh desktop computers from 1993 to 1998. It was also the first mouse produced by Apple in black to match the Macintosh TV and the Performa 5420 sold outside the United States.

Trivia

• The D287 represented only the third major redesign of the Apple mouse in ten years, abandoning the square shape for sinuous and rounded lines that would influence mouse design for decades. • It was the first Apple mouse produced in black, created specifically to match the unusual Macintosh TV and the Performa 5420, available primarily outside the United States. • The D287's revolutionary design was so successful that it remained practically unchanged in subsequent models and was widely copied by other mouse manufacturers around the world.
