    Nice. Hopefully the battery isn't really horrible.

    You can make any mouse work in linux -- some are just more of a pain in the ass than others.

    Frankly, I haven't seen any explicit acknowledgement that the bluetooth mouse works in linux. That's why I'm concerned. I do agree that the optical wireless mice work well in linux.
