- I know of two 3-button mice:
- 1) the BOING!-mouse from GfxBase (408-262-1469), 1881 Ellwell Dr., Milpitas, Ca.95035
- It's an optical mouse originally from Mouse Systems -> same thing as the SUN-mouse.
- It comes with an 7"x7.75" Alumunium 200CPI pad.
- It feels good in your hand, but it's not cheap.
-
- 2) GoldenImage mouse.
- Optical mouse too, but doesn't feel so good like the BOING! mouse IMHO.
- (and there is a DIP-switch ATARI<->AMIGA :-#).
-
- Disclaimer: No I don't work for GfxBase, I'm just a BOING!-mouse fan.

- Roland
