I'd just bring them all back. Check the specific returns policy listed on your receipt. CompUSA should generally give you your money back with no argument as long as you do it within 14 days and have the receipt.
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.

This is a Linux hardware consumer advisory.
The "CompUSA Optical USB Notebook Mouse" looks cute with its small size, USB interface and mouse wheel, but it violates USB specifications and is currently inoperative in Linux as a result. Read the above Bugzilla report for technical details.
If anyone is connected to CompUSA, please encourage management to pull this defective hardware and fix it with a revision.
Don't be careless like me and purchase three, open them all, only to discover that they don't work in Linux.
