2-button mice supported natively in IE in OS X. What other programs? Micro-mice?

Interesting. I was just surfing MacNN Forums and because of Wintel force of habit, I did a right click to bring up a menu.
When the menu popped up I realized I have never seen this before and was in retrospect surprised to find out my USB mouse (with no drivers) supports this function. I have just learned that CTRL-button click does the same thing.
What other big programs support the 2nd button, besides games?
By the way, what are some other supported small profile mice with 2-buttons? The one I have now is pretty big.

any program that supports contextual menus will support 2-button mice in OS X. Also wheel mice are supported directly in the OS without need for a driver (except in very few special cases of windows)
This is, of course, only if the mice are HDI (or HID?) compliant, I believe.
small profile? you mean small overall or skinny?
check out logitechs stuff http://www.logitech.com/
their mice also come with OS 9 drivers.
a host of other (non-mac) USB mice will work with OS X. For OS 9, use USB Overdrive (shareware) which activates the second button and wheels etc.

oops should'a read the title of the thread more carefully. overall small mice....
as said above any USB mouse should work, really. I have a Saitek (which is pretty small but uses a generic design [other manufacturers have the same mouse with a different label on it]) on one of my ibooks. works without a hitch or drivers in OS X.

They all do, since OS8. Every Adobe, MS and Macromedia app at least. You can Cntrl click on items with 1 button mice.
I use it every minute in Photoshop to select the layers without going to the layers pallet.
As for mice this one looks nice and has a scroll wheel: http://www.logitech.com/cf/products/...verview.cfm/99
This one is small and looks nice: http://www.contourdes.com/minipro_ti.htm
They are both optical.

I'm looking at this Kensington PocketMouse right now. MacAddict recommended it. This would be good for my iBook, I think, but I'm trying to find some place that has them on the shelf so I can feel it and see it. So far, no luck (Best Buy and Circuit City).
Anyone have this mouse? Or have you seen one?
