This is the first time I've seen advice that CompUSA branded hardware is incompatible with Linux. I've been buying their hardware with nary a glitch -- but not yet mice. When I need another mouse I plan to buy a used optical one from someone or at some store.
I just bought a $20 Logitech optical mouse at CompUSA today, a generic one that comes with a usb connector and a usb to ps2 converter, advertising both pc and mac compatibility.
It's working fine.
I tend to stay away from fancy hardware, because it often comes with fancy "unexpected features"...
