I see that a lot of PC mice are compatible with Macs. Is the wired Mighty Mouse compatible with PC's? I liked the feel of it when in the Apple Store. :D

Yes but the side buttons don't work. Its just a 3 button mouse with scroll on a pc.

A Macally iLASER. The only thing that sucks about it is the buggy driver.

I'm about to punt my wireless Mighty Mouse across the room. It always stops scrolling down and I have to clean it like 4-5 times a day for it to scroll a little. I'm a very clean person and never eat and 'mouse' at the same time. It's very frustrating.

You can do this: http://genicus.co.cc/?p=57
or this:
turn your MM upside down on a blank sheet of paper and make some circles, go up and down, left right on the paper with the scroll ball and it should work better when done

My PowerBooks horrible when wet trackpad because it can scroll sideways. The one on the old top case that they replaced when I wanted the power port replaced was better when wet.

My hands sweat enough for it to mess up. The one on the 2nd top case was the best and the first was the worst and the one on the 3rd top case is not as bad as the original but not as good as the one on the second.

anybody know where I can get an external trackpad that supports 2 finger scrolling or how I can make one out of PB parts because it is usb on the 1.67 GHz. If I make one I would like the keyboard and the backlight to work too!

just got this yesterday.
had a few problems with mac drivers but it turns out it was my usb hub that didn't like it and steermouse, usb overdrive and the razer drivers all worked fine.

Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. Works beautifully with my MacBook. Only thing missing is an additional programmable button e.g. to go forward while browsing. It only sports one additional programmable button which is mapped to Back when browsing.

I moved back to a trackball.

It's great for the most part, only downside is when I restart the macbook, the driver doesn't load up as soon as the UI is there, so there's about 30 seconds of waiting before it can be used smoothly.
