Oh I don't know about that. I just put a little adapter on the end of the cable of the crappy three-button Mouse I've used for years and it worked fine.

I also happen to really like the little crappy mouse that comes with the Raspberry Pi computer. That one works with the same adapter. I just leave it on the end of the cable.

Edit: I generally like little crappy lightweight mice with good Glides and good resolution. I don't care much past that and if it has three buttons and a wheel I'm good.

And I'll plug in mouse in when I really want a mouse. For a lot of tasks the trackpad on the Mac is fantastic. I really love using the thing.
