More generally, ANY USB pointing device will function in OS X, at least in a basic fashion. I had someone bring over a box full of old Mac stuff to surplus (a ton of Phone-Net cables, some SCSI-Ethernet adapters, etc.) and among them was a Cirque Glidepoint ADB trackpad (discontinued since OS 8.6 times). I happened to have a ADB-USB iMate adapter around, plugged it in and lo and behold, it worked. Only one button was recognized, even with USB overdrive, and it tracked kind of slowly, but it worked. Any typical USB two-button+scrollwheel PC mouse will also work with full functionality out of the box on OS X, the left button clicks, the right control-clicks and the scroll wheel scrolls. I've also never run into a wireless mouse that didn't work. I suspect that if you get a monstrosity like this http://warmouse.com/ you'll need drivers, but IMO you'll also need your head examined! Note: That thing sticking out of the side of the mouse, where your thumb would go? That is a joystick. Yes. A joystick ON a mouse. Even Dr. Moreau would declare this an experiment too far. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

Mouse Question
OK, I plugged my Logitech Optical Mouse into my KB which is plugged into my Belkin 4 Port USB Hub and sometimes I see the light on the bottom of the mouse flash off then on. Sometimes all 4 lights (for the ports) flash off and then back on. It was plugged into my computer but I plugged 2 of my 3 4 Port USB Hubs into the computer. The Belkin is plugged into a power strip so it is not using Bus Power to power it. In case it helps here is what is plugged in: Belkin - My KB and sometimes a camera (not plugged in now) Other 4 Port USB Hub - 3 USB Thumb Drives Any ideas? -- Steve Conrad Henrietta, MO 64036 The time has come for mankind to grow up and leave its cradle behind; to go forth and claim our place in outer space. - Capt.
