Logically it's possible, if the mouse has a socket to plug into. I don't mind the little wire trailing out of the back cos it means there's one less thing to go wrong.

I wouldn't have a mouse that isn't optical, though. I got so fed up with fixing clergy computers where the only problem was a mouse full of fluff (quiet in the back row!) that I carried around a couple of cheapos with me and presented them to the hapless victims of mouseball fluff.
