I've had so many mice's cords break on me. Annoying as hell. Hopefully my wireless mouse lasts a bit longer.

I got three choices here.

The lappy's built in touchpad, which sucks balls...

...the generic but perfectly fine two-button laser scroll mouse (I should check what the wheel is registered as)...

...or the Wacom's pen. Speaking of which, any idea how to register it's pressure, or when it's turned eraser side down?

This looks like a job for DSL.

It looks like this thread has lost all meaning.

A crappy thread? Yeah, I guess those can get annoying.

Having a crappy thread is definitely the most annoying thing I could possibly have to deal with while on a computer. I can handle slow speed, I can handle not having FF or any of my preferred programs, I can handle a touchpad... but give me a mouse that doesn't work properly, and it makes me very very angry.

My mouse barely works!!!!!!

And it's BRAND NEW!!! You have to put a lot of force into making the arrow thing move...

Pisses me off...

...I don't even have a mouse. I have a touchpad.

So what you basically just said is that the manufacturers of the mouse decided to just skip over the third button and simply put in a fourth? (-:

No, I probably didn't explain it well enough. When you scroll up, that's registered as a fourth button, when you scroll down, it's registered as a fifth button. When you press down the wheel on most models, it's still the third button.

Yeah. I'm stupid. But not really stupid.

What I kind of mean is that I used to have the ball roller mouse, which failed to work counless times. I now use a laser mouse which has a left and right button, a scrooler button, and two side buttons for back and forth. But I don't know why a mouse would have seven buttons.

About posting in the dumbass spammer's threads...

I like to be crude. Not that this guy ever even ready any of my posts, but that's ok. It makes me feel important even when I clearly am not.

(Man this topic has sure gotten off track)

That wasn't irony. That was just being a smartass.

I'd just like to take a moment out of this discussion for all of us to reflect on the immense irony here.

It doesn't matter what official button index the key is registered as, it's still a three-button mouse.

I had a 5-button mouse, but it broke. The extra two buttons could be set to do various things like minimize, back/forward, etc. I never really used them.


The mouse of the future. Also, a waste of post 4000.

Bitch, I've got a keyboard on wheels, you don't want to fuck with this.

Though if you're a graphics artist, you really need to have a real three-button mouse, the wheel is too much stress on your fingers.

I can't think of one time I needed to use somethign other than right or left click, or keyboard shortcuts.

If you want to properly play as Jackknife Thundercrash, you need a seven button mouse.

3-buttons? Nah, nah, I feel the two-button and scrollbar marble mouse works best for me. Nothing more needed... but I'm old fashioned.

Eh, I think thoose mouses were aimed towards FPS and strategy players. I seen them before.

(to be fair, I can't see how they would be useful outside of games)

I don't even WANT to know what games would use that. That's the definition of overkill.
