Is it just me, or is there anyone else having trouble with the mouse and XP?

I binned mine. I tried to convince myself for sooo long that it was a great mouse (mainly trying to justify the price to myself I reckon) but finally binned it.

Sorry - I went for a Logitech wheel mouse (optical).

(sorry for going OT)

I think I'm gonna have to agree with you. I think the thing is far too sensitive and the damn buttons on the side are exactly where you you hold the damn thing. I bought it for CS but am contemplating returning to my old, 15 quid Logitech wheelmouse. At least that works with XP

if anyone is considering getting rid of their boomslang, mail me a price and details on condition/age etc. I'll see what I can do.

These mice were a damn rip-off when they came out, but i love mine and i use XP too. The only thing incompatible with XP is the driver software which you dont need as XP automatically detects it as a mouse and enables all the buttons with default actions.

I wouldnt mind a spare or 2
