My conclusion with the 2-button mouse setting is so you can control left and right hand movements separately. The question is, what USB 2-3 button mouse can you recommend out there? If there are different selections for optical and regular mouse, I would appreciate hearing any.

A mouse that's tough enough to withstand 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 clicks of your broadsword with +5 against trolls and your wizard scroll...

Man. Diablo 2 has a cool fanbase >puke<

Cash, do you even know what your talking about here? Diablo 2 has a feature where you can hold down the mouse button to constantly attack, rather than multiple clicking.

Personal view here, but I use a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical. Not the silver one, but the white one.

Left Button, Basic Click (Attack)
Right Button, Command Click (Alt Attack)
Middle Wheel, Tab (Map)
Left Side, Esc (Game Menu)
Right Side, Inventory (Command I)

Used USB Overdrive for all this. Works VERY nice.

I use a Logitech optical 2 button scroll wheel mouse...

Works great, looks neat!

And it's only $29 from www.logitech.com !

Oh, and Ca$h -
We already had our 80-post Diablo II argument. Let's just let it rest (you too, Cipher).

Logitech WheelMouse (oldskool version -- you know, with a wheel...). 4 buttons (left, right, wheel, and thumb), combined with USB Overdrive is an almost unstoppable force for gaming!

Chalk up another vote for the Microsoft Intellimouse. Smooth and sweet.

MS Intellimouse Optical, the best optical mouse I've owned so far. Compact and easy to use.

Left button -- left attack
Right button -- right attack/uses objects
Wheel -- tab (map)
Left side -- option (lits up objects on the floor)
Right side -- R (toggles walk/run)

I tried the new Kensington Optical Pro mouse, thinking that with Optical and multiple buttons it would be the way to go. It sucks big time. After about an hour I switched back to my apple pro mouse. Best and smoothest mouse I have ever used. I can't imagine anything else. I love it. (only one button sucks though)
