I am getting my MBP on Tuesday, and I was wondering if I could use my PC mouse on it? I didn't think I would be able to, so anybody have some good reccomendations?

-Thanks

If it is USB, then yes you can.

The Mighty Mouse is pretty nice, Logitech and Microsoft also make great mice. I really like the Logitech MX400, it is a laser, not optical, and only costs $40.

Anybody have any links to the ones that have the cord come out of the bottom, to attach to the back? I don't want to go with wireless, but I would like that style. Anything where the wire could wrap up itself would be what I am looking for.

Not really interested in a mini-mouse, I will be playing games with it. Same idea though.

What size is that one? I have a friend who uses a mouse that is extremely tiny, and wouldn't interest me.. but that sight did lead me to a good one that I think I will be going with.

although the link is for amazon, it is still a Targus mouse. I just have all my info on Amazon.

I think I will go with this one. I had no idea there where rechargeable wireless mice, I thought you had to use AA's. The only problem is that it is black, and the MBP is white!

I hate having a wireless device go dead on you, just to have to go fish around for batteries. I was unaware of rechargeable via USB :)
