I'm suprised you even use the thing. I spent the good part of a week
trying to troubleshoot a clients computer that was under waranty. Those
mice are a mennace. I ended up replaceing the motherboard but I know
that it was running properly before he used that mouse on it. I know it
sounds crazy but allot of his friends have them and they all use that
thing as ps/2 instead of usb. As a usb divece under windows it does real
strange things.
