Any Desktop Bus mouse SHOULD work on either machine.  I routinely use my
IIgs mice with my PB, and also find that the Kingsington trackball which I
originally purchased for use with my IIgs gives more satisfactory
performance with my PB.  If I remember correctly the IIgs desktop bus does
provide for a second mouse button, but I don't think any software ever
made use of this, or for that matter if the toolbox every contained any
tools to allow its use.
