Its only other flaw Sigh. They had some very nice three-button products a few years ago -- both mice and trackballs. I still use my three button MouseMan all the time. I'd like to go optical, and possibly cordless, but I'm not willing to settle for a lesser mouse. But here's an idea. We three-button mouse users are apparently a minority group, and we're obviously being discriminated against. Perhaps we could lobby for some sort of affirmative action law dictating that all mouse manufacturers produce a particular percentage of their mice with a sane button configuration. I don't think this would be too hard to pull off, especially here in California. Micah
