Apologies to Ted Selker, but it's a poor tool that only functions in
accordance with its designer's intent. I wouldn't call a number pad a
pointing device either, but I see no need for a Cardassian "there are
two buttons" reality-denial session for a pointing device that clearly
has three.
To update my previous reply on this thread, the left mouse button of my
LTRAC trackball suffered from a failed microswitch. While shopping
around for replacement parts I stumbled across a vendor that carries
several three-or-more button pointing devices. Content warning for the
faint of heart: the following page refers to non-mice as 'mouse
products.' https://www.fentek-ind.com/ergmouse.htm
And for the record, P.I. Engineering will not sell spare parts for the
LTRAC units, but will send you links to Digikey pages to order your own.
