You could get Mouse Systems optical mice for more than just Sun equipment,

are rounder, have purple accessorizing and, IIRC, use a different mouse pad).
If your optical mouse has a DIN-8, it's probably for a Sun. If it has an
Amiga connector, it's probably for an Amiga. I think I saw a Mouse Systems
optical mouse this weekend at Dayton with a DB-25 on it, for PeeCee.

I grew up using Commodore equipement at home.
1 Sun Mouse (what was that doing in there?)
I seem to remember that a Sun mouse was quite similar
to an Amiga mouse. In particular, the ones that required
a reflective mouse pad were quite fashionable.
