The mouse I currently use is a Kensington Expert Mouse, but I've got a
Contour Perfit Mouse on order to see whether it is any better.

Both of these mice have true middle buttons. The reason I am checking out
the Perfit is because it seems to have a nice design and the middle
dragging should be easier than with the trackball.
