I am looking for a basic, no frills 3-button mouse. I need it for working in Maya, where I have to use the middle button a lot. Does anyone have any recommendations?
At work I currently use a 3-button Mouseman by Logitech, which they have since repackaged as the "Wingman" gaming mouse. They claim in their ads that it increases your response times because it is faster, but I think this an attempt to cover up the fact that it is just very inaccurate. I have a difficult time even holding the cursor still while clicking on the buttons.
I have also tried the Intellimouse, but find that the wheel button is too small and is difficult to click when using Maya.
I guess I am looking for something that is about the size of the standard Microsoft mouse, but has 3 normal buttons. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I got a bargan no-name 3 button mouse at best buy I beleive becouse my rather expensive computer( at the time , pile of crud now:) didn't come with one and I like it, it didn't even have a name to it, cost 8 bucks witha 9 dollor rebate so they paided me to take it. But recently I saw a really nice looking grey 3 button mouse that is being solf like "the ultimite gameing mouse" comes with I think Shogo :Mobile Suit or somethng? but anyway I beleive its called the WOLF or whatever , Look for it . Grey mouse in a red box 3 button , supposed to be great and its hand curved which is nice . If I find out the exact name I'll post becuse I may get one myself , this ones starting to get a little twitchy.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I feel rather stupid admitting this, but I believe the reason I was having problems with my Logitech at work was because the Mouseman software was no longer installed. I reinstalled it and adjusted the settings and all is well.
The current version of the Mouseman on their website seems to be completely redesiged. After a little hunting around, I found the original one, but it seems to be available only OEM to manufacturers like Dell, HP, etc. So I picked up their Wingman Gaming Mouse, which is exactly the same as the original Mouseman except for the color.
