Interesting. :-) I've used the Apple Magic Mouse, and it's "ok". I was at an apple store when I did. I've got some code that can read touchpads (I think I've tracked up to 10 points). If the mouse has the same raw capabilities as the touch pad, it might be a good Plan 9 chording mouse. I just worry what happens when your palm is down or not on the mouse. I've actually become a trackball guy again, and use the Kensington Expert Mouse Trackball. http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Expert-Optical-Trackball-64325/dp/B00009KH63/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1262621445&sr=8-1 I paid 100 USD for mine, and have no regrets. It's got 4 buttons and can chord just fine. The scroll ring is pretty nice too. There's a newer version but I think they may have taken a step backwards. Dave > Russ > >
