Hello everyone,
When I was a kid I fell in love with a mouse at the local retail store, and beg my father to buy it. Guess what, he did in the end. Unfortunately, I guess one day it died and we got rid of it.
These days I was thinking about that rat, and eager to find some internet pic I've started searching, but with 0 luck. It seems Google doesnt know this piece of junk. Maybe I'll get lucky with someone here remembering.
It was mid 90s, the mouse was green and from Logitech. I'm pretty sure it had 3 buttons, and the bundle was coming with a plastic orange mouse pad. In pretty darn sure the model was the like of the Logitech M-MD15L, but in green. Definitely it was serial mouse, as back then I was in my pentium 120mhz era, or maybe it was still 486, can't say for sure.
As incredible as it may sound I find 0 reference to this on the net.

There are few mice that look somewhat like the M-MD15L, maybe if one of them is a closer match shape-wise, looking for it in green might be helpful. [1]

By the way, that mouse designs feels a bit dated for the mid 1990s. I mean it might have been made earlier and still have been on the shelves.

Unfortunately, it's neither of those mentioned. It was Logitech, pretty darn sure about it, as I've never had anything different than that brand in my life actually, and it was solid green colored.
It's intriguing as I've spent quite some more time looking for any matches on Google/ebay, and I still can't find any resemblance anywhere.
Could possibly have been a custom design made by some 3rd party producer then re-applying Logitech brand onto it and/or under license? back in the days weird things happened in the HW panorama eheh...in my town I remember there was this place where they had TONS of floppy disk games, And by paying a small fee to the shop owner you could copy and take the software home - your paid-for pirated copy, 🤣
