The 2-button mouse changed my life

Favorite right clicks: Right-clicking links in Safari, to open in new window (see below for opening in a new tab) or to copy the URL or save the URL contents. Likewise, in Mail.app right-click an email address to reveal (and perhaps copy) the actual address. But why stop there? - Most multi-button mice have a scroll wheel that acts like a middle button. Favorite use: Middle-click on a link in Safari to open it in a new tab. - My Logitech mouse has 2 extra buttons on the side. Mac OS X recognizes them without any extra drivers. I map them to the Expose F9 and F10 functions. Do that and you'll find yourself using Expose ALL the time!

I've been using an 8-button trackball for quite a long time (although I don't actually use 2 of the buttons on it). This includes a scrollwheel, which if you don't have, you *need* to get one! Once you get used to the scrollwheel, you never want to go back. I recently got an 8-button optical mouse (Logitech MX510) because there are times when a mouse is necessary (accurate small mouse movements, like 2 pixels left and 1 up (think Photoshop editing)) and I love this one. So if you want a trackball, go for Logitech Cordless Optical TrackMan (the wireless aspect isn't necessary, but I don't know of a wired model), and if you want a mouse go for Logitech MX510 Optical Mouse.

I'm using the Kensington Pocket Mouse Pro (http://www.kensington.com/html/1211.html) - I haven't used the IOGear one either; it just happened to be the first 2-button mouse that already had a photo in the database. :) I like the Kensington, though - it's cool that the cord retracts into the housing. Makes it easier to travel with, and eliminates at least one cord from the snake pit of cables in my bag when I cart around the mobile office. :)

What mouse are you using? Because I hear that IOGear one you have pictured is nice, but I haven't used it myself.
