I'd have to unpack my Apple II mouse, but I know the part number is
different than that of the early Mac mice. The mouse requires a special
card to be installed in the Apple II system. The IIe Platinum works fine
with the mouse, as does the standard IIe. I've never tried it with a II+
or II, but it might work ok. I doubt that much software that could make
use of the mouse would run on the older II systems though. The Apple IIgs
came standard with a mouse, but IIRC, it was just a plain ADB mouse.

This is a all
beige mouse with a long 9 pin connector. On the
connector is the number KPT-0044J-03 and on the mouse is model
A2M4015.
Going off the model number, it would seem to be an Apple part. If it is
all the same color beige (button isn't a slightly darker color), then I
would think it is the original Apple II mouse (which would fit with the
model number designator A2M for Apple 2 Mouse). I believe these were
used with the Apple IIe (pre IIe Platinum).
