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

      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.

        I keep meaning to try one. Maybe I'll give it a go.

        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

                  Programmable Mouses ? You can do what you want with them :-\

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

                      What about a "click THIS" method...?
