Its an initialisation timing bug in the A4tech protocol I'm afraid which
affects just a couple of models of their mouse (of course they can fix that
in a PC software driver).
We're intoducing a flash-upgradable Mk2 version shortly (+£5 more I'm
afraid) and that has a code fix that makes it work with all the A4tech mice
we have tried (6 models). The standard version was built to work with MS
intellimouse, Logiteck and 'generic' 2/3 button and scroll mice but also
works with most other mice/trackballs that we have tried.
