Well the first mouse was invented by Tom Cranston, Fred Longstaff and Kenyon Taylor, but the design was not patented.
Douglas Engelbart of the Stanford Research Institute invented the wheel-based mouse in 1963. The first ball-based mouse was invented by Bill English at Xerox PARC in 1972.
Douglas Engelbart
The first computer mouse, was created by inventor Douglas Engelbart, using wheels that make contact with the working surface.
He was at the Stanford Research Institute and invented the mouse in 1968 after extensive usability testing.
He initially received inspiration for the design after reviewing a series of experiments conducted in the early 1960's by American geneticist Clarence Cook Little. Intrigued by Little's examination of laboratory mice at the National Cancer Institute, Engelbart endeavored to design a more efficient method for controlling computers, based on small movements of the hand corresponding to a point on a screen. The term "mouse" is a play on this connection, originally coined by Bill English, Engelbart's friend and colleague at the institute. He never received any royalties for it, as his patent ran out before it became widely used in personal computers.
The first marketed integrated mouse - shipped as a part of a computer and intended for personal computer navigation - came with the Xerox 8010 Star Information System in 1981. The ball mouse was invented as part of that project in 1972 by Bill English. However, the mouse remained relatively obscure until the appearance of the Apple Macintosh; in 1984 PC columnist John C. Dvorak ironically commented on the release of this new computer with a mouse: "There is no evidence that people want to use these things."
The concept of the computer mouse was first invented by Douglas Engelbart in 1963. The following year, in 1964, the first prototype mouse was made to use with a graphical user interface. Engelbart patented his computer mouse in November 1970 under the name "X-Y Position Indicator For A Display System". It was called a mouse because it had a tail-like cable.
The first computer mouse was hand carved from wood by Doug Engelbart. No company at the time saw any use for it.
Above is correct and that first mouse is on display in a glass case at SRI in Menlo Park CA.
Well the first mouse was invented by Tom Cranston, Fred Longstaff and Kenyon Taylor, but the design was not patented.
so Douglas Engelbart and Bill English at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) invented the first mouse prototype in 1963.
A gentleman by the name of Douglas Engelbart. He invented the mouse in about 1963.
Apple.
Actually it was Xerox on their Alto computer, Apple copied them on their Lisa computer.
Apple of course they rock!

To our research we find that the first computer mouse was made out of Wood.
Apple Lisa
Richard Lyon of Xerox and Steve Kirsh of Mouse Systems Cooperation in 1981 invented the first optical mouse. Douglas Engelbart was the first inventing a computer mouse with the name "The Locator X-Y"
Englebert's prototype mouse in 1963 had a wooden shell for the mouse's exterior. It used a PCB and two perpendicular metal wheels to detect direction of movement.
Douglas engelbart invented the computer mouse/pointing device.

The first mouse was made in 1963 by Douglas Engelbart of the Stanford Research Institute. He invented the wheel-based mouse.
It depends how far back you want to go. The trackball, a very similar device, was first created in 1946 by Ralph Benjamin. Douglas Engelbart made the first mouse prototype sometime in the 1960s. However, a German company, Telefunken, demoed the first mouse publicly.
mechanical mouse
It was made in 1964 by Doug Engelbart.
The first computer mouse was invented in 1963-64 by a man named Douglas Engelbartas.
The actual invention of the computer mouse is debatable, most likely first making its appearance at Stanford Research Institite in 1964 due to the efforts of Doug Engelbart and Bill English. However, the first mouse that shipped with a commercial computer system (Xerox 8010 Star Information System) was introduced in 1981.

None, it was a prototype and never sold. Douglas Englebart built it to use as a demonstrator.
