The good: Swiveling body hides USB dongle inside; stylish black-and-silver design.
The bad: Thicker body may not be comfortable to all; only two buttons, plus a click wheel.
The bottom line: The Macally Pebble Wireless Laser Mouse is an inexpensive 2.4GHz wireless mouse that works equally well on Macs or PCs--but its unusual shape may not be what you're looking for.

The seemingly limitless number of choices out there make it hard to stand out from the crowd unless you have a special feature to tout, such as a Bluetooth connection (the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000) or built-in gyroscope (the Logitech MX Air).
Macally makes accessories specifically designed to work with Apple products, but in the case of the $29 Pebble Wireless Laser Mouse, this is essentially a generic laser mouse that will work on any PC with a USB port.
