Applications
The M4848 was Apple's standard pointing device from 1998 through the early 2000s, shipped with every iMac G3 and many Power Mac G3 and G4 systems. It was Apple's first USB mouse and the first to drop the ADB connector entirely, signaling the transition to USB across the Mac lineup. The round shape drew significant attention at launch and remains one of the most recognizable — and polarizing — Apple peripherals ever made. Today these mice are sought by collectors restoring iMac G3 systems to original configuration, as well as vintage Mac enthusiasts who want period-correct peripherals for their setups. They work on any USB-equipped Mac or Windows PC without drivers.
This Apple M4848 USB one-button mouse has been tested and is in good working condition. It is available in assorted colors — units may be teal or graphite depending on stock; the color received may vary. The mouse shows light cosmetic wear consistent with prior use, including minor surface scuffs on the shell. The USB cable and connector are intact and undamaged.
