I prefer the keyboard anyway, and get rather upset when a piece of software can't be used (or can't be used efficiently) without a mouse. Login or register to post comments How to count? Submitted by jmelchio on Fri, 2008-10-10 06:52. I have 2 buttons and a scroll wheel. Does that count for three? My apple mouse has no buttons but functionally 3 areas to push and a scroll ball. How does that add up for number of buttons? Just wondering. Login or register to post comments How to count? Submitted by theuserbl on Fri, 2008-10-10 10:22.

In this case pressig the scroll wheel 4: scroll up 5: scroll down Don't know how it looks like on Windows. Login or register to post comments
