[Hidden-tech] * * * MacBook Pro-compatible USB hardwired, non-LED, ? mouse? * * *

[Robert Heller]

Aren't all "modern" Mac's equiped with USB? If so, any *USB* mouse or
trackball should work, even if it is said to be for a PC -- USB is indeed a
"Universal" interface, and USB HID is a standardized protocol (HID is Human
Interface Device, which includes mice, trackballs, trackpads, keyboards, game
controllers, and anything that pretends to be one of these [like barcode
scanners and mag stripe scanners]).

I don't know if *mechanical* mice are even still made. But you should be able
to get an actual trackball (stationarry unit with a ball on top, not a movable 
mouse with a ball underneath).
