I don't know how many of you use a multiple-button mouse, but I notice that
Apple's recent OS's (9.2-10.3) have built-in functionality for
two-button/scroll wheel mice.
I recently purchased a Macally "DotMouse". It's an optical mouse, with two
regular buttons and a scroll wheel+button. The left and right click buttons
provide normal and control-click functionality just by plugging the mouse
in. As well, the scrolling function operates immediately. You must install
Macally's software to program the scroll button or to change the other
button functions.
This mouse is smaller and more comfortable than Apple's standard issue and
has an incredibly nice feel to it. And since I've gotten used to the right
click bringing up the control-click options, Apple's control-click process
seems like an awfully inefficient use of the left hand.
You can find a technical description at:

The "dot" refers to a high-intensity blue light emitting diode (LED) in the
mouse.
