    Get a "upside-down-mouse": http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Wireless-trackman-mouse.jpg[^]. They are brilliant for that: you can click as much as you like and the mouse pointer doesn't budge. They are difficult to get used to, but I've been using them for about twenty or so years, and wouldn't go back to a "normal" mouse. And...they never fall off the mouse mat... :laugh:

      The only problems being that they're ugly and uncomfortable in use.

        The Wacom ones are very good, even the small sizes.

          I know ppl that used to play CS 1.6 with trackballs, they surely kicked 4$$ as soon as they got used to it :cool:

          if(this.signature != "")
          {
          MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
          }
          else
          {
          MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
          }

            Just arstin', like. I've felt like it's been missing since mouses were invented. Gotta be better than all the click-one-of-these-buttons-in-awkward-places-that-make-the-cursor-jerk stuff.

            What does "ClickBoth" mean? You want both buttons clicked at the same time? Why?

            There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

              I guess it's been designed by Vilmos, did you see the button "DRINK"? Next to "MIX" and "PUMP".

                  I'm using one of these[^]. Takes a while to get used to, just like a trackman. But great if you have shoulder pain as you can have both arms in front of you in a normal working position.

                    I used a three-button mouse for a long time (before the day of the mouse wheel). It was subtly shaped, almost like a duck's foot, and very comfortable to use.

                      That's handled in software. I seem to recall supporting that for some app I was working on a few years back.

                        Sure, but I don't remember ever having a driver that handled it, although I do recall using "hold right, click left" somewhere or other (but I think that was in an app, not the driver). I don't see why it's not a standard driver/mouse-configuration feature; it's a simple enough thing, and would translate to multi-touch easily enough
