Using via USB, works OK. Have yet to figure out a way to get correct mouse button events from all 7 buttons (in xev) - anyone managed that?

Works well on USB

Note that the 8th button (small round button on the top) doesn't map very easly and is best to ignore. Seems to map to the same as the left mouse button by default.

Also don't be fooled into thinking it's a 10 button mouse, the two buttons above and below the mouse wheel do the same as the mouse wheel itself.
