I'm another Lenovo scrollpoint user, though I don't care for it as much as Joseph. I've used the magic mouse on Mac OS for plan9port and drawterm with a couple of actions bound to swipe actions that has worked well too. I've been curious about the contour mouse, though I haven't been curious enough to drop a hundred dollars on one just yet.
