Innapropriate Wholesale Deletions

[edit]

Anonymous contributors keep making wholesale deletions without so much as an explanatory discussion. If you wish to correct something please make editorial changes that conform the article to Wikipedia's standards and propose deletion of anything that violates those standards which cannot be satisfactorily deleted. Don't simply delete something with vague references to Wikipedia's policies. Make specific references and link to the violation of those policies. And more importantly become an accountable member of the Wiki community and discuss changes intelligently and democratically.--Mac128 (talk) 15:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I feel the tone of the deleted passages isn't really quite right. They shouldn't be deleted but rewritten. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (talk) 23:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed.--Mac128 (talk) 15:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've resisted the urge to remove the "shortcomings" paragraph at the end of the first USB Mouse, but that's entirely too editorial for this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerwitz (talkcontribs) 17:55, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Model numbers

[edit]

Where did the model numbers in this article come from? No source is mentioned, and not all model numbers are listed. —Frungi (talk) 23:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The following model numbers have been confirmed: A1152 M5769 M4848 G5431 A2M4015 I do not have any additional mice to confirm the model numbers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.44.27 (talk) 01:06, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other users than Apple

[edit]

Which Sun or HP machines ever used ADB? Both companies had their own, proprietary schemes to hook up input devices, neither had any need for ADB. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.114.121.72 (talk) 21:15, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Language/Grammar

[edit]

The correct plural form of "mouse" (when referring to the electrical device) is "mouses", not "mice". The article has been edited accordingly.

Factual inaccuracies

[edit]

"Apple's transition to USB coincided with the relocation of ports on their laptops from the center to the left edge." - not entirely accurate. Apple switched to USB in 1998/1999 with the iMac, Power Mac G3 B&W, and PowerBook G3 Lombard, but the ports on the PowerBooks remained on the rear edge until the first aluminium PowerBook G4s in 2003. (The clamshell iBook, released in late 1999, had its ports on the left-hand side, but iBook users were much less likely to invest in an external mouse in the first place.) 75.155.184.193 (talk) 04:44, 26 June 2017 (UTC) Anonymous Interloper[reply]

Apple MouseApple mice – Apple doesn't use the name "Apple Mouse" anymore so mouse should be lower-case, as it is a common noun, and plural. This is also the case Apple uses. See also: Apple Keyboard. Shivertimbers433 (talk) 16:38, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
