Not as a simple 3 button mouse. We have been looking for an Optical 3 button mouse ever since Optical mice came out and never yet found one, they all have a scroll wheel. We do some 5 button Optical Mice where there are buttons on the sides (under the thumb and small finger) on some of these the thumb button is by default a duplicate of the scroll wheel button i.e. 'Menu' On some other mice extra buttons can be confgured as 'menu' usin HID! We also do a 'battery free' mouse that sits on a special pad that has a wide flat menu wheel. Whilst at first using the scroll wheel as a menu button doesn't feel ideal many users say they quickly get used to it. > Digital Camera > -------------------- > I would imagine the ones that CJE Micros have listed will work OK with > an Iyonix but how can you be sure which ones will work and which > don't?

As direct connection compatibility can change with camera firmware versions it is almost impossible to be sure which cameras will work. Using a card reader is a very effective quaranteed way round this.
