I disagree, I have a mouse with 2 scroll wheels and 5 buttons, I have the mouse set up for the Electronics CAD package I use : Scroll wheel 1 = up / down Scroll wheel 2 = left right Button 1 = select Button 2 = mouse menu (context sensitive menu) Button 3 = place wire Button 4 = page up (zoom out) Button 5 = page down (zoom in) It allows me extra speed on designs.
