Does anyone use a Rocketfish RF-NANMSE mouse?

Asked by Todd Jasinski

I'm thinking about getting this mouse at Best Buy to use with my Ubuntu laptop. Does anyone know if Ubuntu will recognize all the buttons on it? Note the scroll wheel tilts left and right. There are also 2 additional buttons above the left mouse button. Will I have any issues with the usb wireless interface? Here is a link so you can see what it looks like.

I decided to gamble and buy the mouse since I could return it if it didn't work. Ubuntu recognized all the buttons immediately. They even worked the way I wanted them to by default. The two small buttons by the top left mouse button move forwards and backwards while browsing web pages in Firefox. The side scrolling on the wheel works too. This seems to be better quality than all the Microsoft and Logitech mice I was looking at.
