Answer 2

Microsoft.
IntelliMouse - "Microsoft IntelliMouse (tm) mouse with a wheel" (c) Windows 95.

A little later, MS IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 came out - a great mouse. At one time it cost a little over $100. Optics, additional buttons and a wheel ... It was chic. I recall a phrase from Vitaly Leontiev

's book "The Newest Encyclopedia of a Personal Computer" (editions 2001-2002) - "And you will think more than once whether it is worth trusting such a mouse for $ 100 to a child eager to play Quake."
The optics of even that were still rare...
