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:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Optical-3-Button-Mouse-With-Side-Scroll-Wheel-USB-3-Button-Mouse-send-mouse-pad/302784849165

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 use a 3DConnexion CADMouse pro wireless: https://3dconnexion.com/uk/cadmouse/ and I really like it. It fits my hand well and works in wired, bluetooth , or with a wireless usb transmitter. It's got a huge middle mouse button which was the main draw for me.

The downsides are that it seems to have a unique bluetooth firmware that crashes bluetoothd on Linux . I haven't been able to figure it out. It also has this fake "inertial" scrolling which I hated at first but now I quite like it.
