What a glorious name for a piece of hardware. Even if it's apparently buggy and needs help to work right.
I felt bad saying I don't need that glorious driver when doing my oldconfig.
Anyway, because I noticed this due to the name, it does strike me that clearly Windows must be ignoring - or otherwise reacting differently to - the HID_MAIN_ITEM_CONSTANT flag. Because presumably those mice work under Windows without special drivers?
In fact, reading that driver, it looks like they report being *both* constant *and* variable in their report descriptors. Which sounds odd. Maybe we should do whatever Windows does, and not need a special driver for this maybe-bot-so-glorious-after-all mouse hardware?
Hmm?
