Where can I buy a 3 button mouse

I'm sure the following has been said before - I haven't followed the entire thread. It is of course your prerogative to opt searching for an optical three-button mouse if you so desire, but wouldn't it be more logical to use a modern simple scrollmouse?

The scrollwheel is clickable as a third button - I do that all the time - and the scrolling could be seen as a bonus, even if you don't necessarily need or use it?

The above said, I think actual real three-button mice without a scrollwheel are not exactly being sold anymore these days, and if they are, then it's most likely not in the form of a USB mouse, not to mention that it won't be optical.

PS-2 might still be available, ans so would serial be, but that sort of displaces your quest to the second-hand markets.

Like I said, it's your prerogative, but what you're looking for seems like a lot of trouble to go through when the same functionality is already available in modern scrollmice, and their number is legion.

Your mileage may vary, of course... ;-)
