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.
