Eric, I think you misunderstood ... the mouse for all Mac Plusi is the
standard 9-pin serial "square" connector. The serial ports are round 8-pin
din, but the round ADB plug didn't come out until the SE & Mac II
(technically the Apple IIgs). You are correct in that the corners of the
Plus' mouse plug were "rounded" compared to the 128k's blocky connectors,
but I think that actually happened prior to the Plus release (w/AppleTalk in
early 1985) and may have shipped with later model 512ks as well.

for the Plus? All the eBay auctions for old Mac mice seem to be
the one
with the round plugs, rather than the Plus' square mouse plug.
There are some 'square mouse with square plug' rodents on eBay - often
listed as for the 128Kb and 512Kb Macs.
As far as I know, all Mac Pluses came with the "round" plug--if you
have an early, i.e. 1986, Mac Plus or 512Ke, then the challenge is

The DE-9 connector (no it's not a DB-9) used for Mac128 & 512K Serial
and all early mouse ports all have the same rounded connectors. It
is a standard connector originally made by AMP IIRC. The plastic
shell was rounded on some connectors. The connector is the same
though.
