I use a mouse too. I've also started using trackpads more, but for the last 20 years it's been mice in various incarnations (currently a razor deathadder elite), no problems so far. Had a steelseries before that, and a roccat before that, Logitech before that. I suppose the difference is the religious use of a specific configuration. I usually use the same mouse (buy them 2 or 3 at a time) on Linux (Gnome 3 mostly) and Windows. No problems there either. All on mostly default settings, perhaps a little faster tracking speed but that's about it.
