Mouse in a Box
Authored by: balthisar on Jun 11, '02 06:27:12AM

Kensington\\\'s USB Mouse-in-a-Box is a great deal -- it\\\'s a three-button scroll mouse (with the third button integrated into the scroll wheel), and is usually only about $20. It does NOT come with driver software -- it\\\'s just a mouse in a box.

Here\\\'s the catch, though -- if you go to your local CompUSA (or whereever) it will be in the PC section -- NOT the Mac section! The Mac version of the same mouse (but in a box that says Macintosh on it) costs a whole lot more. BUT, it comes with a driver (for pre-X systems, anyway).

Once you have the PC version of the mouse, the Kensington Mouseworks (free download) works perfectly with it. Although, OS X seems to work perfectly WITHOUT Mouseworks (you\\\'d only need it for extra features).

The right button on a mouse is a GOOD THING on the Mac. I\\\'m happy it\\\'s officially supported by the OS finally!
