John_A Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 .. in the same dark, grey stylish color as the Powerbooks used to have.. Were such a device ever released by Apple or someone else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sadmanonatrain Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 John_A, Do you mean something like this? It came with a PowerBook 140 I bought a few years ago. This is the only example of a PowerBook coloured ADB mouse I've ever seen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John_A Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes, that's exactly what I am looking for. I have never seen one other than on pictures, I wonder how many of these that were made? Let me know if its for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sadmanonatrain Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 John_A, Its Family No. is M2702 and its Serial No. is MI3374B5T18. It's not for sale as I'm going through an ADB mouse shortage. It must be an uncommon item as I find that the trackball on the 100 series PowerBooks is quite good!

techknight Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 That trackball worries me. The rubber/silicon rollers will eventually break down, if they havent started already. And when this happens, How do we fix it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

finkmac Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Would you mind taking a few pictures of the inside of the mouse ball holder? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sadmanonatrain Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 finkmacunix, I have taken a few photographs of the mouse ball holder and uploaded them to Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6j6P7lBWw-BMFVfMm1DTVRwSE0&usp=sharing I'm a fan of the 'teardrop' mouse; it has such a satisfying click to it!
