My 486-33 came with a Z-nix serial mouse. While I didn't care for the white plastic which didn't match the PC and was quick to become dirty, admittedly it did work quite well.
Interestingly, this PC also came with a second 3-button mouse, included with the ATi Graphics Ultra that plugged into the bus mouse port on that card. It was made by a company called "Leaguer". I really liked the quality and feel of that one. For a while I tried to figure out how to adapt it to work on a PS/2 port, but eventually had to give up. Sadly, while in storage an actual mouse pissed into it and completely destroyed it....makes me sad.
Later I had Logitech Mousemans. Those were generally pretty good, but avoid the OEM versions like the plague. They use the same mouldings, but the quality of everything is much lower than the retail versions. I believe the OEM versions had black logos. For the record, I prefer the rectangular version to the one that is shaped like a hand.
Another mouse that I kind of thought was pretty cool was the blue Microsoft Home mouse. Not sure if it's better or worse than a regular MS mouse, but it looks cool and was a really good deal at the time.
While I like period correct builds, I'm willing to make an exception for the mouse. The old ball mice always got clogged up with shit, and just never really seemed to work right. The Amiga mouse was the absolute worst.
