It's like a glove, yes, it is.

I have a Diamondback that works well under Xorg and console:

ums0: Razer Razer Diamondback Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2,
iclass 3/1

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option          "Buttons" "5"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

I think that enabling usdb in /etc/rc.conf will kickstart moused,
giving you console access to the mouse; and this even though moused is
disabled by default in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
