I have the exact same mouse working on 5.2.1

Here is the section from XF86Config

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZaxisMapping"      "4 5"
EndSection


In /etc/rc.conf I have the line

moused_enable="YES"

I am using the adapter that came with the mouse
and it is plugged into the PS2 port.

I find that the mouse is responsive and I really
like the feel. Now if only MS could do something 
with software.....

Good Luck

Robert
