Following up on our breaking story from last week, sources have written in to confirmed many of the rumored details of Apple's forthcoming desktop mouse refinement, and more.

Crediting previous reports, sources with ties to those in Cupertino claim that Apple's new mouse is indeed Wireless, Optical, and also 'button-less.' Apparently the new mouse will be programmable through software, similar to the way PowerBook users can set their trackpad to respond to certain actions such as touch-pad tapping and drag and drop.

A new version of Apple's Mouse control panel is said to be under development, and will handle the customizable behavior of the new peripheral. "It's really the coolest mouse in the world." one source said, "It's not just another wireless, optical mouse. It's done by Apple, so it's impressive."

On an even more refreshing side, user's may find it comforting to know that sources are now also confirming the existence of a new, and much improved, Apple keyboard.

While it may be logical to assume that Apple's new keyboard will also be wireless, many of details of the new peripheral are still yet unknown. However, the new keyboard is said to be ready to debut alongside the wireless mouse, possibly by Macworld New York in July, and is said to begin shipping standard on Apple Macintosh computers shortly thereafter.
