The Logitech MediaPlay mouse is a good looking, comfortable, full featured wireless mouse from Logitech. It features backlit media buttons (play/pause, FF/RW, volume up/down), horizontal scrolling, and "Universal forward/back buttons." The only problem is that it doesn't work with the Mac, so Logitech says.

The Logitech Control Center software does not recognize the mouse, but USB Overdrive does. It will allow you to use horizontal scrolling, the media button, and the universal forward/back buttons. The other media buttons don't work, yet, but maybe the next release of USB Overdrive will support them. I wrote an article about my experience with this mouse if you'd like to know more.
