I've been using the Logitech MX510: optical, wired, right handed and lots of
buttons (most of which I don't use). I have tried lots of mice through the
years, and have stopped looking, this is the best! It is much better than
the typical left/right hand mouse and has great response and click action.
It's about $44 at CompUSA, but they are out of it at this time.

CompUsa still sells 3-Button Mice, cheap! On-Line Only.
I bought two spares (haven't tested them - but Mice usually live long
[although not forever]).

Shirley,
If you wanted to use a newer fancy mouse, just set the scroll wheel to
"Middle Button" on any Logitech mouse. Pushing down on the scroll wheel
works the same as a middle button for Allegro and still functions as a
scroll wheel for other applications.
I like the MX1000 so much I bought another one for at work.
Sorry, I don't think that I have any more of those 3-button Logitech mice,
otherwise I'd send 'em your way.
I still catch myself trying to move a screen the Allegro way in other apps
or games, and even a stroke once or twice.
Cheers!
Drew

That is why I have a monopoly on Logitech 3 button mice...
Every one gets a bribe if they change to a fancy mouse and bring me their
old one.
They get chocolate if they supply the driver files too!

It is damn near impossible to use strokes with a trackball :)

In a previous life, I was doing schematic entry in Mentor and learned the
"strokes"!
Wow they were just great. Once you get used to them they are very powerful.
When I started up on Cadence I found they had only a few strokes and most of
them
didn't work well so I went back to using function keys for the basic things.
Of course
it doesn't help much that Cadence follows the Select a process then select
the thing the
process is to affect. Whereas Mentor you select the item, then tell it what
process you want to
use.
One of these days I will train my Cadence tool how to use strokes better but
as a librarian
there are only a few basic things I need now.

I've seen those strokes performed by Mentor users, and it works really fast.
Some of them look like ninja's just stroking their mouse.

LOL... the Mentor people think "strokes" are the best thing since sliced
bread.
Give me configurable keyboard control anyday.

env variable, "unset no_dynamic_zoom"
why on earth it's even an option? about as much use as strokes.

Hey guys,
I'm not sure what's going on with my mouse, or if it's even a result of
upgrading to 15.5.
Before, while on 15.2, clicking the middle mouse button would continue
zooming in if I had just zoomed in.
If I had just zoomed out, the middle mouse button would continue the zooming
out when clicked.
Now, clicking the middle mouse button zooms me in, whether I just zoomed out
or in.
Not a big deal, but anyone have any clues as to where this is set?
Thanks!
