Gaming mouse for Macs?

Oxymoron maybe?

This doesn't make alot of sense, personally, lol.

If you buy a mac, you usually want the mac "look" and this doesn't have it...

Razer... wth...

How is the anymore mac compatible than a G5 or any other mouse. All the G5 buttons function when I tried it out on my macbook.

And the fact they are trying to break into a market that doesn't even exist makes no sense.

The 8800GT is the top build to order option, but if you want to you can put in any card you want for Windows (or if you can mod the .kext files, you can get them to work in OS X too. My 3870X2 works fine in a Mac Pro with modded .kext files

EDIT: I was talking about the Mac Pro w/ the 8800GT
