Mighty Mouse Confusion
I have a Mighty Mouse at work. It's nice. I wouldn't use it for gaming, but I like the multiple button functionality, especially the scroll ball. However, I still have a regular Apple pro mouse back home. This confuses me to no end. I won't use the extra buttons when I'm at work. When I'm home, I try to scroll with a wheel that doesn't exist. At work, I squeeze the sides when I want a firmer grip causing an Expose action. At home, I try to use Expose and realize too late there is no button there. Maybe if I had one in both places I'd be better off. However, I kind of like the one-button feel. I try to minimize my mouse usage no matter what mouse I'm using, anyway.

Huh, that does look like a neat mouse. It sort of reminds me of that game where you pass around the stick and either 'pop', 'pull', or 'twist'.
What is wrong with you? One button is about 2 buttons too few. I agree that using a mouse is an obnoxious waste of hand movement that should be avoided, though.
Using Command, Alt, Ctrl, and Shift, I have more options for clicking than you do. Also, more applications have standard ways of using these key combinations.
