Mouse Poll
To celebrate the mouse's birthday thought I would do a poll.
So which kind of pointing device do you use? Select all the ones you use on a regular basis. |

A two button mouse with scrolling wheel. It's also an optical one too. My graphics tablet too for some stuff like drawing, fractals or if I'm going to be on the computer a while.

three buttons with the third one being the scroll button. So there wasn't an option for that I suppose.

Nope, that's the scroll wheel, I think, are there any scrollers which don't function as a button? Gee
Anyways, I use A 2 Button with scroller, handy as hell ![]() Though I used my friends' mouse once and that had 5 buttons, optical and a scroller, playing SOF1 at that time

I can understand the use of a cordless mouse, but what's the added utility of having two wheels? Or 5 buttons? A waste of money, I'd say.

The ones with lots of buttons are handy for games with alot of crontrolls, like freelancer or something, but all I have is a 2 button one with a scroller

I have a Logitech MX500 with 8 buttons, and a Cordless Mousman Optical with 4 buttons. The notebook still has a standard 3-button mouse with wheel. And I have a small graphics tablet (barely used).
