    Let's try to keep on-topic here please, the original poster asked about installing their new Habu mouse.

    I don't own this mouse so I don't know how much help I can offer. Where exactly are you encountering the problem? Do you get some sort of error message while trying to install the driver/firmware?

    LOL, that is just funny. Your MS mouse won't work with MS software. No offense or anything I am laughing at MS here! ;)

    Anywho, glad to see you got your problems fixed, I am sure others may encounter this as well.

    yeah if the deathadder wasnt back in stock I woulda got the habu, it was my first choice til I heard about Razer's new mouse

    guess the habu could be the last of the laser mice now that infrared optical 3g is out
