If I am not mistaken, the 'new' mice (light ball) are made in
Taiwan.  The old mice (heavy ball) are made in the States.  
Perhaps its just a matter of production scheduling that determines
where your mouse comes from.  I have an old mouse and love it.  I
played with a new mouse and I think they really, really suck.  To
me, the mouse is a user's primary way to interact with the Mac.  The
old mice gave one a very satisfying, physical feedback (not unlike
the steering on sports cars vs. power steering).  They gave a sense
of quality. The new mice feel like a cheap imitation. 

Shame on you Apple.
