I am a fan of Microsoft mice, but have the same issues that you have with this software. The unpredictable cursor lag, and at times erratic behavior prompted me to spring for SteerMouse although I try every new version of this software. As others have noted SteerMouse will not indicate the remaining battery life of those Microsoft mice that rely on MS' own software to tell you. Thankfully, it looks like many newer MS mice are starting to come with an indicator on the mouse itself. To get around current limitations when using SteerMouse I simply purchased an inexpensive battery tester at RadioShack.
Yep, Get exactly the same problem that when you switch to a new app the mouse speed can suddenly start moving a hell of a let faster. Switch to a different app and it's fine.... crappo :( I too like their mice but software sucks.
