Got a Razer Deathadder, they come with their own OSX drivers that seem to circumvent the issue. Also sad to see so many Magic Mouse users here ;) I know everybody has their own preferences, but that is not a good mouse.

I actually used a Razer Imperator, but I found it to be very flaky: about once an hour it would lose the plot completely and I'd have to unplug and reinsert the USB cable. Not a great experience in-game :-( I don't know if it was that particular mouse or the OS/X driver that was causing me problems, though. I switched to a Steelseries Xai, and I've been loving it. It doesn't have any special mac drivers but all of th…

My Deathadder 3G Spawn is of Apple quality.

The cable is covered with cloth, not plain plastic.

Longtime Mac user here... for what it's worth, I don't know what the OP is referring to. I use both Mac and Windows regularly (home vs work), and I don't see a noticeable difference. Maybe I've just gotten used to it. Definitely isn't a problem for me.

I notice the lag on my Mac. It feels like the mouse is stuck in mud compared to using the mouse on the Windows. When I first got my Macbook about 3 years ago, I tried like 6 or 7 different mouse and acceleration software, and they all acted the same. The trackpad works fine though.
