Hi.

Has anyone tried this:

http://www.contourdesign.com/shuttle...ttlexpress.htm

it a scroll wheel and 5 button usb device.

I own a m$ 5 button wireless mouse. i like the scroll wheel the two side buttons are a little to high though.

Anyway, i am now using "desktop manager" the virutal screen app and i LOVE it.

I want to move between these different and use all the modes of exposé so i WANT MORE buttons and am thinking of buying the countour shuttle express to give me 5 more buttons.

anyone out there addicted to mouse buttons and care to share how you get your fix?

For lots of buttons, check out Logitech's high-end mice.

They have one with 7 buttons. I kid you not.

And, of course, if you get one with the MX optical engine, the precision is amazing.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

thanks charles. one question. i am using usb overdrive as the driver for my current mouse and one thing the bugs the $%% out of me is the "lag" it takes for the mouse to move.

i assume this is partly do to the multitasking of OSX but i'd be willing to bet the wired mice do not do this?

how's your experience with the "lag" of the mouse?

(will check out logitech now)
