This is a Linux hardware consumer advisory.

The "CompUSA Optical USB Notebook Mouse" looks cute with its small size,
USB interface and mouse wheel, but it violates USB specifications and is
currently inoperative in Linux as a result.  Read the above Bugzilla
report for technical details.

If anyone is connected to CompUSA, please encourage management to pull
this defective hardware and fix it with a revision.

Don't be careless like me and purchase three, open them all, only to
discover that they don't work in Linux.
