For purposes of orientation, if you find yourself in a steamy
Devonian landscape and notice that a dragon is about to devour a
beautiful girl nearby, you have undoubtedly stumbled into a lost
world. Your problem is to save the girl and then live happily ever
after with her. But if, on the other hand, you find yourself in
Piccadily Circus, London, and notice that a beautiful girl is leading
a dragon on a plastic lead down Regent Street, to no one's amazement
but your own, then you are in a parallel world and your problems are
entirely different.

Hey, there's a way to end the mouse/keyboard switching argument once
and for all! With 18 buttons, you can just make the mouse a chording
keyboard as well and never move your hand from the mouse.

Amputees around the world jump for joy.

Also as a side note, this was originally known as the OpenOffice.org
Mouse. Hey! Let's make an acme/Wily Mouse; it'd totally sell!

The War Mouse is said to be not just for gaming :-).  Well duh, without
reading beyond the name I can tell you it's meant for war.

Or just use that red pointer button that was on the IBM Thinkpads (anyone
know about Dvorak keyboards with such thing?) or preferably have a "move
cursor off-screen" button instead of <insert> :P

I use it the trackpoint all the time (i.e. currently sitting in the
garden with the x60 on a arm-rest), but don't tell me it's better than
my old logitech...
And dvorak is not *that* great either (definitely not worth it).

What I hate about touchpads is that they take up so much space that I
can accidentally move the pointer, and if I've got tap-to-click enabled;
accidentally click, and trackpoints and mice are better for moving it
off the screen again. Tap-to-click is mostly an annoyance.
