  • "Searching for a Mighty Mouse? Here Are Three Options." ["The Touch Mouse, as with the others I reviewed, is meant to be compatible only with Microsoft Windows. But this isn't entirely true — my Mac laptop recognized each mouse's USB connector as a keyboard accessory, and I could still move the cursor with each mouse. I was also able to use the touch surfaces of the mice — or in the case of the HP mouse, the touch strip — to swipe up and down pages on the screen. In the case of the Touch Mouse, functionality on the Mac was limited. For example, I could swipe up and down, but not snap my windows to the side."] AllThingsD 9:04 AM
