Nine?!

[livejournal.com profile] clovis_t needed a new mouse--his right mouse button didn't work any more. He told me that he didn't just want to get a cheap one, so I gave him permission to look for something better than bottom-of-the-line. After all, I insist on a pen/drawing tablet instead of a mouse, so I understand being fussy about how one communicates with one's computer. But, I do have to wonder, does a mouse really need NINE buttons? Sure, I like having a pen with two buttons--one for "double click", and one for "right mouse". But Nine?! Isn't that a bit excessive?

It isn't really any bigger than normal, and, indeed, he says that is it noticably smaller than the last one he had. There is a picture of it here. However, it does look like left handed folk are out of luck if they don't want to learn to push buttons with their smallest finger...
