Sounds right about the OP, what a horrible thing he said and for no good
reason at all.
But, Blinky, one button mice can be nice. Even better is the no button one -
like the Apple Pro USB white/clear one. Alright already, it is effectively
one button, you press it, ever so sensitive and such a good sounding soft
click. How about the general principle of being able to do more with less.
All this left and right clicking, scrolling and stuff! On my machines, the
functions for right click are (settable) temporal controls: holding the
mouse down a few parts of a sec will trigger a close contextual menu and you
have it all done before you release the one button.
Each to his own I guess. Actually I am designing a mouse for those who like
lots of things on it. So far my prototype is a bit clumsy. I have this old
extended keyboard and I sort of fitted a wheel on a corner and you sort of
balance it and with a bit of training can get to all sorts of keys to do all
sorts of things... Personally I don't like it but it may have a market for
you guys that like to do a lot with a lot...
