Does anyone know if the XO works with USB mouses? If so which model? I'm sure this question is not unique as track pads are an extremely annoying method for moving the mouse.

Some people are using various kinds of USB mice with their XOs. There's more information in the XO Accessories forum, which is here: http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?board=13.0

I have just purchased the Kensington PocketMouse Optical Mini USB Mouse.

http://us.kensington.com/html/4397.html

"The ultra-compact PocketMouse Mini fits easily into a notebook bag for easy storage, and DiamondEye™ optical technology provides precise tracking on most surfaces. And with the retractable USB cable there are no tangled cords!"

It works great and is a bargain at $19.99.

I've used a cordless mouse with the receiver plugged into the XO USB; works like a charm. I bought the mouse on eBay for about $5 + S&H.

I've plugged over a dozen different mice into the XO and they all worked.. even two at a time!
