Since you already have an optical mouse, I will assume you are not talking
about performance.
In terms of configuration and setup, it uses the exact same protocols as the
Intellimouse (assuming you have the newer ones with a wheel) so that no
adjustments are necessary. Well, we will have to reconfigure your /dev/mouse
to point to the USB mouse, but that is easy.
Anyways, they work great. I have used few MS Optical, a Belkin optical, and a
few of the Logitech optical without any problems. As the cliche goes, I'm
never going back to a ball mouse again!
