The stupid thing is I'm pretty sure the middle mouse button delay is in the hardware on the MS mice.
 
I have one of these and even on OS X with no custom drivers installed the delay is still there. Sucks for 3D because you need to hold the middle mouse button down for close to a second before it registers a middle click.
 
I'm sure they did this to eliminate accidental middle clicks while using the wheel feature but unfortunately it makes it useless as a 3 button mouse. Seems silly that they decided to do this in hardware rather than in the softyware driver too. Too bad because I really liked the ergonomics of the actual mouse.
 
Cheers!

lol, i actually got another to see if it was a bad egg. the second still had the same problem which really pissed me off. so i sent microsoft a message about this. at the very least this should be pref i can change, its responsiveness shouldn't be limited like that.

anyways i hope you enjoy the suggestion. take a look at other logitech mice, they are pretty solid on all models.
