    I've seen a lot of mouse issues in Parallels 6, and i'll add mine.

    I use a Razer Naga MMO mouse, and have the windows and mac drivers installed. Boot camp works fine. In my virtual machine, when i'm playing any FPS game, using the mouse to look around yields choppiness. It's not horrible, but it makes fine precise movements impossible. Also in DC Online, any mouse movement yields huge jumps (i.e., moving the mouse a hair downward, and im immediately looking at my feet in game. Move up a hair and im looking straight up into the sky.

    It would seem that the mouse is being controlled by a parallels driver, because the drivers for the Naga mouse in Windows doesn't "see" the mouse. Changing the mouse settings in game, or in windows makes no difference in game.

    So playing games in Parallels 6 is very difficult.

    It's a shame too, because I get really good framerates.

    Any insight from the parallels team is appreciated.
