Re: [9fans] 3-button mouse

Not quite what's asked for, but with my motor control issues I really  
shouldn't be able to chord at all, but most days I can with an odd  
little labtec mini-mouse.

It's about £10-£12:

It's undersized and the middle button's a scroll wheel, it really  
ought not to work for me but it does. The wheel really feels like a  
button, although it is a very small button. It's much better than the  
last real 3-button mouse I had, and buttons 1 and 3 are better quality  
than any mouse I've used in years too.
