We where discussing mice for plan9.
I have just about given up on the apple magic mouse, its a shame,
having the nice swipe features is cool but its just too unreliable at
detecting middle button clicks to be usable with sam.
This maybe due to the MagicPerfs software I used.
I have however found a cheap alternative:

This is basicially a rip off of the contour mouse. Thehey work fine with plan9,
my only complaint is they are a little small for my hand - I will probably buy a contour
mouse one of these days.

On a similar note, I picked up a Contour Unimouse (5 buttons) but it's
not working correctly in Plan 9. I'm not sure if it's related to the
wireless USB receiver or the extra buttons. When I move the mouse left
and right, the cursor moves up and down, and moving the mouse up and
down has no effect on the cursor. Pressing buttons moves the cursor to
the right. Does anyone have experience fixing an issue like this?

I don't see a third button... nor dead people.
