The (famous) red mouse is the DePraz mouse:

FWIW, I
have a copy of the AT&T 5620's owner's manual as well as the
manual
(with
schematics) from Teletype. I am planning on donating these to the
Computer
History Museum where they can be scanned and available to all.

Yup - that's the one. I
actually like the ergonomics and the mechanical
action of the mouse buttons.
The DMD5620 FAQ online has the pinouts of the DB-9 connector for this
guy.
Apparently the AT&T 6xx and 7xx terminals that took a mouse used
the more
generic Logitec serial mice.

We had some 605's and 7-somethings when we had
AT&T gear, but not the
layers capable variants.
