I don't have any other info (that is all that it printed on the case, which I have in front of me). It plugs into the mouse socket in the Sun keyboard, and has three buttons, and works just fine. I used it for about a month, but then switched back, basically prefering mice I guess. But since I used it for a month you can tell it was not awful. (BTW, we don't use the Sun mice here, but instead opto-mechanical Sun-compatible mice from Logitech, model M-CD9-SUN-8MD. They are great.) -mark
