Yeah, that's it. All white. "Special Edition". They were in the Mac section only.

I almost bought it but my wife got me the Kensington one for Christmas.

Arghh. My CompUSA doesn't have them yet. Do you know when they're supposed to debut?

Compusa has 'em, though I just bought one and frankly, I'm not too happy with it.

For one thing, it's heavy- moving it around is kind of a chore. Another thing, which is the main gripe, is that the tracking is sketchy. It just doesn't react quite like my wired intellimouse. I played around with the settings and channel selections, and basically gave up.

It just became too frustrating to use it, and basically made me want to throw it across the room. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of being wireless, but not at the expense of delayed reaction time and bulkyness.

Try it if you want, but keep the receipt.

I plan on trying it out... I certainly hope it's not as sketchy as the wireless solutions I've used in the past (logitech and kengsington)
