Steve Jobs had made a deal with Xerox during the summer of 1979 in which he allowed them to buy 100,000 shares of Apple stock in exchange for access to Xerox PARC's technology. Apple's team were astonished at what they saw there and Steve Jobs later recalled: "It was like a veil being lifted from my eyes. I could see what the future of computing was destined to be" (Isaacson p 97).
The mouse, originally designed by Doug Englebart, was one of the elements of the Xerox Alto that so impressed the Apple team. Apple brought in the design team Hovey-Kelley (renamed IDEO in 1991) to modify the complex 3-button Alto mouse into a single button mouse with a roller ball underneath. The final product matches Lisa's Art Deco-inspired design language and though it has gone through countless revisions over the years, still operates much as one would expect of a contemporary mouse.
