Is such a mouse available on the PC? Same style, but with high DPI resolution, USB and such.

God knows! A look through your generic computer store wouldn't turn up anything at all close to an OLD C= mouse. Ergonomics and all that. You would have to turn to a store thats got very old PC mice. If anyone else has seen one, I hope they can post it.

In my search I found the Commodore 1352 with a serial. But is is old, only 300 DPI. I have seen some funky mice in my search, and there must be someone that are making a mouse that looks somewhat similar. I just love that design.

You could always mod/hack the Amiga-mouse shell onto something newer, like a optical mouse or something.

My skills don't go that far. I was hoping for a ready to go product.
Anyone seen a new PC mouse designed like an Amiga 500 Mouse?

Alternatively, you could do the opposite of what many Amiga people do, and use a real A500 mouse with a bus-to-serial mouse adapter. Yes, there are/were such things, because in the dawn of the Clone era, when they were trying to catch up with the Amiga, there were both Amiga style and serial mice. Micro$oft backed the serial mouse; guess who won. However, to push their agenda, Micro$oft actually manufactured bus-to-serial mouse converters, and I have one.
