FreeBSD Mouse Roll Call/USB Mouse Help

Hello everyone. I am curious to see what brand/model mouse everyone is using with their freebsd machine in case I have to purchase a new one.

I am trying to use the usb wired microsoft comfort optical mouse 3000, model 1043, but to no luck.

I found this link:

But I am unsure how to go about proceeding.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
 
I have a Logitech MX Revolution, works quite well but I have to configure it in Windows. Once it's configured I can use those settings on fbsd too.
 
I too have a Logitech MX Revolution, and it was odd... When I first installed FreeBSD 7.1, it was completely from scratch, and the mouse worked perfectly, now I can't get middle click to work... just toggles between free roll and the other one. Thumb thing doesn't work but I never used it anyway.
 
Razer Lachesis. Works fine for me.

I'm running X without HAL. With a high resolution mouse one should take care of turning the mouse acceleration of X off.
 
Some random, cheap logitech wireless usb jobber. I plug it in and the buttons and scroll-hwealan weorcan. And I don't use^H^H^Htrust that stroppy HAL thing either (I saw what it did to Dr. Poole).

That's it's default configuration. If you configure the mouse on windows it'll keep that config until you turn off the mouse.
