HP model DY651A is a cheaper option, but it's getting hard to find. The Scrollpoint Rob mentioned was made with both IBM and Lenovo branding, and was also available in a sculpted Pro model with a thumb-actuated fourth button. For a portable option, Lenovo sells a convertible 'Yoga' series of wireless mice, which have two mechanical buttons and a touchpad-style scrolling section in between; on all of these that I've tested, tapping the scroll panel sends a middle click, and they support tap-and-hold as you would expect. I haven't tested some of the newer ones, and there's always the danger some product manager got 'creative' instead of just selling a useful product. The Evoluent VerticalMouse series has three mechanical buttons plus a scroll wheel between buttons 1 and 2. Finally, the Logitech G series of gaming mice don't have separate middle click -- they use the wheel for that -- but they frequently have other buttons which can be configured to serve as button 2, and the configuration software writes this setting to the device, so you don't need weird driver support when you plug it into a real computer. khm ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T49f3cceea70d2b61-M95055= c30e7391c7003c4352f Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
