  Hi,

  Mine is a MAC notebook. i have been using the Mac Mighty Mouse for some time. But it has proved to be extremely frustrating. The scrolling is very slow and sometimes unresponsive. It is also very slow when I try to move the cursor. Does not help much when I try to adjust the mouse settings. 

  However, when I tried my PC mouse on my MAC, it works very well. It is very fast when I try to move the cursor or scroll up/down.

  Question is: Is it the right thing to use a PC mouse on MAC? Will there be a chance that the PC mouse will mess up with my MAC system?  

  Thanks

  I guess it should be fine. The mouse is merely an external device communicating with the main computer. If the communication is successful (as in between the PC mouse and your Mac), my guess is it should be ok.
