Although many may not realize due to the simplicity and elegance, the original Apple mouse took a painstaking amount of time as well as hard work to help it come to fruition. The pioneer of this remarkable engineering wonder is Jim Yurchenco, where he was responsible for fitting all the necessary components inside the impossibly small Palm V mouse. With around 80 patents, the celebrated engineer has now retired and the good folks over at Wired had the pleasure of sitting down with him to talk about his incredible journey. Source
