you can just get the mac one and plug it in, it should work fine.

I use a Mac keybaord at the moment as it matches my monitors and cases - it's a great keybaord. However, don't Mac mouses only have one button? I was after a mouse in that style but with left and right buttons and a scroller.

the older ones did, the new one is nice once you get used to the scroll ball: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/

I hear that everything works fine in windows with no extra drivers except the force-sensing side buttons and the scroll ball only works as a vertical scroller, so you lose a bit of the pizazz.

This one seems to do the trick for a bit less money and a more windows-friendly design: http://www.macally.com/spec/usb/input_device/ilaser.html

I have the wireless version of this mouse: http://us.kensington.com/html/4769.html

But don't get the wireless it charges in a funky way and because it runs out of juice so often I don't use it. It is a very nice mouse though and the touch-pad scroll wheel is quite nice, I have no doubts the wired version is great too.
