As far as I know, the Lisa I was shipped with a keyboard but no mouse! You had to buy the mouse seperately. By the way, the Lisa 2 also came without a mouse. The MacIntosh (later renamed Mac 128k) came with the Mac Mouse (the one with two screws on the side). I'm not 100% shure, but I think you could by the Lisa 2 with the Mac Mouse a few years later at a favourite price bundle. At that time the small-button Lisa Mouse was no more longer availlable - here in europe. Only a few years later, when remarketing the Lisa as Mac XL there was a whole bundle availlable, containing the computer itself with a keyboard and a mouse (the Mac Mouse)
