Description: This is a comfortable mouse in both hands. However the middle button is nearly inacessable due to the fact that the tilt wheel is triggered first.
Also there is no tactile feedback from the scroll wheel, leaving you (and many programs) to wonder about how many units you wanted.

Otherwise the battery life is much extened over previous models

Works fine when plugged into USB. Did NOT work with stock 2.4.29 Slackware kernel, but when I upgraded to 2.6 it worked instantly. Mouse wheel works fine, haven't figured out how to get the tilt wheel operable yet.

Works fine out of the box on most 2.6 kernels, including mine. Great mouse, only problem is my little brother...he keeps on stealing my mouse. :)

Not for Linux. Worked fine with SuSE 10.3, but support for the scroll is completely lacking in 11.0 and after two days of Googling around, I still do not have a working scroll. That is really terrible.
