Apologies to Ted Selker, but it's a poor tool that only functions in accordance with its designer's intent. I wouldn't call a number pad a pointing device either, but I see no need for a Cardassian "there are two buttons" reality-denial session for a pointing device that clearly has three. To update my previous reply on this thread, the left mouse button of my LTRAC trackball suffered from a failed microswitch. While shopping around for replacement parts I stumbled across a vendor that carries several three-or-more button pointing devices. Content warning for the faint of heart: the following page refers to non-mice as 'mouse products.' https://www.fentek-ind.com/ergmouse.htm And for the record, P.I. Engineering will not sell spare parts for the LTRAC units, but will send you links to Digikey pages to order your own. khm ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T49f3cceea70d2b61-Mc7ced772c99a52e354070f70 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
