I have OS 10.3 and tried my microsoft optical mouse with my ibook g3 but it does not work that smoothly: the tracking (tried to adjust) and usb issues (but maybe the trackpad button was stuck). Are they or other non-mice designed to work well with ibooks?
I would like to use the 2nd button with mac. I don't like the one button mouse.

All USB mice should work fine with Macs.
Is/was it a wireless one?
They always lag but seem to do even more so on Macs so you should get a wired mouse.

Maybe it's because it's a Microsoft mouse. I think seanc is right in that most USB mouses should work. My Logitech 2 button mouse works perfectly with my PowerBook. It's also plug and play so there is no software that needs to be installed. If you can try your mouse on another computer to see if it's the mouse that's bad.

My Dads wireless optical Microsoft mouse if awful but my basic wired optical Microsoft mouse it absolutely fine.
