My friend's A500 Plus came with a tank mouse. Most A600's came with them too I think, and the ones that didn't had a newer looking A1200 mouse instead. I certainly know of two different mice for sure that came with the A1200, three if you count the tank mice - although I'm not certain whether any A1200's actually shipped with tank mice. Of course, all mice supplied with Amigas are Commodore branded.
Another type is the A3000 pregnant mouse. Commodore just used what they had, there was no consistency.

That left mouse came with some A1200's and possibly some A600's. The one on the right is newer, not Commodore but Amiga Technologies I think, so certainly post 1995.

The one on the left is what came with my A1200 in 1992. A4000's came with these too. The one on the right is like your last picture, so newer also than the tank and came with A1200's and possibly late A600's and A4000's (as it looks newer that the one on the left). I don't think anyone will know for sure. I suppose you could start a survey to find out what mouse people received with their new Amigas - I think the results will be mixed though. :)

Quote from: Pat the Cat;820712
If you EVER come across one of these joysticks, get it. Not only collectable,  probably the best single button joystick ever. Very very short travel.  The clip usually flip off pretty quick, but the rest very solid. Swedish  design, obviously unlicensed.

"Despite its unique, burly look, the Terminator was actually a standard, 9-pin controller that supported a variety of systems (including C64 and Vic-20). Today, it's both a fairly rare collectible and the only joystick that we wouldn't recommend carrying through airport security."


It'd be fine at Heathrow.

@walterg74
This is a tank mouse variant from a recent thread here. So that makes three tank mice variants in all.
