I'm designing a game using the mouse and I would like to map 3 functions to the mouse and this got me curious...what kind of mouse do most people have?

1 button mouse - Does this even exist?

2 button mouse - Standard stuff, no extra bits.

3 button mouse - Some have 3 giant buttons but often the scroll-wheel clicks in and acts as the third button.

more button mouse - High tech shit, you are the king of mouse functionality.
I have a two button mouse, 'cause I'm your average Joe.
Three, including scroll button. It's a Logitech M100, apparently.

We have the same exact mouse thingy.

I'm really cheap. I bought this recently for £5 when my left click on my old mouse got borked, but that one was about 10 years old..

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Macintosh mice are one button. Because that's the most a mac user can figure out how to work.

My mouse has 14 buttons, and a set of interchangable weights that can be added to the bottom.
I used a Mac mouse on a PC one time at my job. One of these



While it doesn't appear to have 2 distinct buttons, I could still left and right click as normal. I think I could even click that scroll ball on top, which might be the 3rd button. I hated that mouse >.> It hurt my hand to hold for more than 10 minutes at a time.

It really depends on what you do with a Mac mouse. Gaming I can understand would hurt your hand like crazy, but I used to do a lot of music work with one and it wasn't too bad. It is a bit too small for my hand though..

Web design in Dreamweaver u.u

That was the problem, it's too small and not form fitting to my hand at all.

On that note, how do most people hold their mouse?

Mine's pretty small, so I tend to use an awkward claw-like hand to grip it. There's probably a good reason for why my fingers click so much.. I've seen people hold their mouse in some weird ways. Especially people who rarely use computers.

lots of dead ones, seriously.

we waited way too long to get traps and so the traps have been...productive. four or five confirmed kills in the last three days.

Three button, if you count the scroll wheel button thingy.

Mine's just an average mouse from HP that came with my computer.
Too bad it wasn't an Exit Mouse.
Up until a year ago I was still using my ball mouse from '98.
I've since had three others - one wireless (got dropped and accidentally stood on) and two wired ones (ones cord got chewed by the cat). I'm considering going back to my ball mouse.

All have 2/3 buttons.

Ball mouses were awesome. I wish mine still worked.

Now I want to install Windows 3.1 or 98 on this computer.

I lost the ball to my ball mouse once. I had to control the thing by jamming my finger into it and rolling it manually. Good times..

If you have a properly shaped mouse, it should be held with your hand more or less exactly in its most relaxed default position.



Mine actually has an indented area on the left side for the thumb to fit into, which looks ergonomic but I think is mostly pointless.

Mine has the usual two, a roll button, four scroll buttons, and another button I'm not sure what does.
