While they do have a photo of Doug Englebart, the picture of the "first mouse" they show (supposedly at Logitech HQ) doesn't look anything like the old NLS mouse (with two 90 degree edge wheels and separate piano key strip) that I have in my collection buried somewhere. I thought that mine was a pretty damn old one. Anyone care to shed more light on this?
Ooh, I'll trade you for one of my original green-eyed Microsoft mice :-)
It sounds like you might have a circa 1968 model. There are some pics at the Bootstrap site:
