If you do, you lose your mouse entirely and have to restart X... and this is true for Windows too. After doing this about 20 times one week, I superglued the power plug into the KVM and tie-wrapped the powersupply to the power strip. The mouse seems to work fine though I wish XFree supported the mouse wheel under FreeBSD like it does Linux. In switching from the MouseMan Optical to the Mousman Dual Optical, I had to crank the mouse acceleration in KDE down to 1x, or as I say, it was too jumpy. In general, this Dual Optical does not perform as well as the basic Logitech optical mouse. It still acts weird from time to time. The pointer will jump around occasionally. Unless you're buying this to get better performance under Windows (for Quake or whatever), I'd say go for the cheaper single optical model.
