Kensington makes a couple of USB/ADB mice; I saw them at Fry's the other
day.  One of them is optical, while the other is optomechanical.  The only
downside is that they have only one button (probably not a big deal on the
IIGS, but even on a Mac, two buttons and a scroll wheel are nice to have).

A working PS/2-to-ADB adapter would definitely be nice.  I have a beige G3
sharing a keyboard and mouse with my x86 boxen through a PS/2-to-USB adapter,
but a PS/2-to-ADB adapter would work with my IIGS and Quadra 610 (and might
work better with the G3 than USB).
