I just bought a Mighty Mouse, but the cable is far too short (I am using it on a PC). I have checked the usual romp of sites (eBay, etc.) for USB extension cables, but nothing really matched the pristine Apple "white"; anyone have any suggestions?? I just want something that matches the color of the Mighty Mouse's cable, so it looks like one long cable..

IIRC, Apple includes their own matching USB extension cable with new Macs. I have a couple lying around and I know I never bought them individually.

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

Apple USB keyboards come with white extension leads ... not sure if you can buy them separately.

The extension cord that comes with the Apple USB keyboard won't work with the Mighty Mouse, due to a small notch that prevents the mouse USB from being inserted into the extension. Blows.

Bummer. How about a small, nice-looking notebook USB hub? Only other think I can think of

You're in the US? Ironically I found some iPod shuffle extenders in white on eBay UK ... otherwise look here where there are a few white A-A leads .... none seem very long though.

I just found those, I might get that if I don't find anything at the store.
