Hey guys,
Got something really grinding on me and google hasn't helped in the slightest. I've recently acquired two generic, non standard mice with some amigas I purchased from two completely separate sellers - the two mice are identical. They are slimmer at the left/right buttons end, so a slight triangular shape to them rather than rectangle/square.
Anyway, here's the super oddity - the ends of them are not 9-pin female, they're 9-pin MALE! This seems extremely odd for any type of computer / device, let alone amigas - not even google talks of any platform that ever existed which had female mouse sockets and required male-pinned mice...
What on earth could these mice have been for??!?
P.S. I did get back to both sellers asking what they were for, neither of which had any idea (!!) they just chose to throw them in from their hoard pile.

Looks like you'd need to swap some of the first 4 pins.
