| lan05:31 UTC29 May 2007 | My current mouse (Sony MSAC-US5) has a scroll switch between the mouse buttons - you pull it towards you and it scrolls down, push it away and it scrolls up.
I prefer the switch to the scroll wheel that's found in most other mice - unfortunately this one's worn out, and Sony, being Sony, discontinued it ;)
Does anyone know of any current (optical, USB) mice that have a scroll switch instead of a scroll wheel?
If the worst comes to the worst, I suppose I could fix this one, but it's over six years old, so I'm sure there must be something better out there by now...
Ideas? TIA :)

even at the local computer fairs we have in Oz, where all kinds of cheap computer gear from Asia is sold i've not seen one.
i'm thinking its a sony idea gone to waste. It does sound good though, i'm not a huge fan of the scroll wheel.

Not exactly what you want, but close.

| lan00:43 UTC30 May 2007 | good suggestions - annoying that they're both wireless though, but at least they give me an idea of where to start. thanks!

| lan00:46 UTC30 May 2007 | a-ha, there's a wired mighty mouse - that might do it :)
that said, is the thing in the middle like a laptop nubble, or a mini trackball? the apple website describes it as a ball...
