I use a MS optical track ball gaming mouse with oodles of buttons +scroll. MicroS**t makes a Mac version of their mouseware that I use. I switch between os x apps and os 9(clasic) enabled apps without having to reconfigure my mouse because I can preprogram the mouse to each specific app ahead of times to match the most common way I use each one. It is like prebinding if you are a gamer.
