- There are two distinct protocols. One uses 3 byte messages and one uses
- 5 byte messages. The 3 byte messages cannot reliably transmit all mouse
- events for a 3 button mouse. It is possible that the same message gets
- sent for for a button click and a mouse move. It just happens when you
- press more than one button at a time though.
