Not exactly. All these systems have various workarounds to try and
support the various Microsoft mice. Unfortunately, every time they
introduce a new mouse model, the workarounds don't apply. Now that's
creative people, for sure: they always find new ways to be incompatible
with  the specification they contributed to.

Anyways, FreeBSD seems to have a new heuristic since a few month, which
might help. I'll try to give it a try soon.

In the meantime your mouse will not work under OpenBSD.
