    I am using Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical with 5 buttons and scroll wheel work very well in both OS X & 9.

    I just recently seen a

    <a href="http://www.hama.de/hama/artFrame.jsp?sid=0sfg55og31"; target="_blank">Pro Mouse "Clone"</a>. It has also no "buttons". The clicks are made by tilting the mouse to the left or right side. The feeling is quite different than most other mice as other muscles are moved for this movement. I've also see a version with a silver interior (under the clear plastic).

    Not sure there's even five buttons on my shirt. What the heck are they all for? I'm really happy with the Pro Mouse, thanks.

    You can program them to do stuff. I used to have a mouse with 5 buttons and those buttons were very useful.

    The large button on the Pro Mouse was, I believe, designed for people who would have trouble operating a smaller button placed at the end of the mouse. Having multiple buttons or a scroll wheel would probably comprimise that design feature.
