I go with the good old 3-button Pilot. Unfortunately, the left button of my remaining one is dying, which is another reason why I'm using it left-handed... The scroll wheel is quite cumbersome as a third button, often used for pasting. I wonder if there are ones with a proper third button and a scrollwheel... They'd just have to move (in e.g. the present Pilot) the scroll wheel a bit towards the centre and add a third button in front of it. > About the weight: 323 g of the V270.

Your example is flawed: Tuomo neither lives in Helsinki nor has or drives an infernal machine. Tuomo uses highly reliable technology known as the Oat Engine combined with such a marvel of simple and reliable engineering known as the bicycle. And against the wind and snow he goeth. -- Tuomo
