I still use Evoluents everywhere, all wired, with both Linux and OS X. The software remapping is still the only real pain point. On OS X, I use a third-party program called USB Overdrive. On Linux, after each installation of new X software I have to run xev to learn what button numbers X assigns by default and then construct a new xmodmap line for the funnymouse script. I haven't found a better mouse, nor have I tried the wireless one. I am planning to play with an Apple Magic Mouse using Paul Lalonde's patch (soon to be in p9p). Russ
