Since we are moaning about real hardware, is there anything available these days that comes even close to the Logitech ergonomic three button mouse from the mid-late 1990s
I suspect most people here still use the middle mouse button on a regular basis
Absolutely, it's indispensable in Unix systems I use, and used a lot in Windoze too. My favourite mouse is a Logitech VX Nano; it has a scroll wheel that can be set to freewheel for very fast scrolling, or set as normal, but very importantly it also has a real middle button just behind the scroll wheel. They're no longer made, but the Logitech MX Anywhere is very similar. I have one VX and four MXs, and my only regret is that there isn't a PS/2 version to use on my SGIs so I need an adapter.
