I finally found one at HP. It’s a usb optical mouse with three real buttons and no scroll wheel. This will make my text and html editing a lot easier with the middle ‘paste’ button.
If anyone is interested, the HP model number is DY651A.
You do know that for most wheel mice the wheel is also the center button??
Yes, I fought with a couple of those for a long time… pushing on the wheel is stiff and if the wheel moves while trying
to paste, the content is pasted in the wrong place…a very cumbersome workaround!
