I assume this is under xev?

Hmmmm....it sounds like it's not quite an extended mouse protocol mouse,
or else the emp support in the kernel is broken.  You might want to get a
copy of ADB Parser and try to figure out what kind of device handler it
uses under MacOS and what kind of ADB messages it is sending if not the
default EMP ones.  Without seeing the behavior of the mouse, it's kinda
hard to tell :-)

Later.
