I was looking on eBay for the Apple Magic Mouse. I then come across a 3rd party mouse identical to the Apple branded mouse. It is a very cheapo mouse; only $12.90 like this one here: 2.4G Ultra Thin Wireless RF Mouse Magic Multi-touch Scroll Mice Wheel+Receiver | eBay It does not state that it is Mac compatible. My question is would it still work on my MacBook? I would assume it would being that it uses USB.

It's obviously a Chinese knockoff. We wouldn't know if it works, but the chances are good that IF it works, it won't work well.

Standing request for all troubleshooting: Please provide your Mac model/year and OS version. Also advise us if you have used or installed any antivirus, security, or "cleaning" software on your Mac. If you have installed MacKeeper in particular, you are hereby advised to uninstall it.
