USB Optical Programmable Mousewith Scroll

Summary: Nice mouse at a nice price
Review: This is a pretty basic 2-button scroll mouse that works pretty well. It has a nice white design that won't clash with Macs (I have an eMac), and is much cheaper than other mice targeted at Mac users. It works well, and doesn't require a driver (it comes with a driver CD but I never needed it.) Mac OSX already supports scroll wheels and right buttons, so perhaps the driver is necessary for OS 9. Hint- Scrolling while holding down *Shift* will scroll horizontally- great for manipulating images in apps like Photoshop.

The only negative is the weirdly bright blue light at the base of the mouse- it doesn't really bother me but is definitely overdone. On the positive side, if you are trying to walk through your house in the middle of the night, the blue light will keep you from bumping into things (the light stays on while your Mac is in 'sleep' mode.) Since this is a relatively minor cosmetic issue, I will rate this mouse a 5 for being a good mouse at the right price.
