Will an ordinary Dell USB mouse work with a mac?

I'm thinking of buying a Dell mouse. They're just ones that I've used many times before and I like the feel of compared to my current mighty mouse. I wanted to know whether a mouse like this: http://tinyurl.com/dellmouse would work on my imac with leopard. Will all of the buttons work correctly or will I have to download a driver that complicates things?

Thanks!

oh good! it' just many websites saying sys requirements as Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista etc, so I just wanted to be sure!
 
Yup that works for sure. It sucks that wireless USBs don´t work though :mad:

Does anyone know a wireless mouse that works with Mac that isn´t the Mighty Mouse and costs way less?
 
It was actual wireless. It had a little USB reciever you plug into the USB drive. Some probably work but this one i bought didn´t :mad:
 
I've never had any USB peripheral other than my dad's fundus retina camera and an extremely old and cheap USB to MIDI converter which doesn't work on a Mac. I've had 'PC only' wireless USB mice working on my Macs too before.
 
I work at Best Buy in canada and we have a rocketfish line of products that is essentially our brand, there is a wireless bluetooth mouse for mac that is $50 and a cheaper wired version that is about $30. The wireless one is a laser mouse and it looks almost exactly like a mighty mouse. Im sure if your in the states best buy will carry them
 
Yuck. I don't want to go back to the days when we had cheap clones. I want the real mighty mouse. Hence I purchased one. That and the wireless aluminum keyboard. To OP: Yes.
