Hello,

Maybe some of you know where to find that....
My mouse is slowly but surely dying, and it makes using it rather a pain. I would like to change it, but can't find what I want - the simplest of mice, with just three button and NO wheel (I absolutely hate them and never could get used to it). I've been to stores, searched the web a bit - they all come with the blasted wheel.
Would you know where to find one? You know, like those old logitech mice that couldn't have been simpler....
Thanks!

did you know mouse wheels are also buttons? not just a scroll thingy.

Yes, I know, but I find them uncomfortable to use as a button. The wheel just annoy me, and all I want is a plain button, but nowadays it seems impossible to find....

...wow, every time I grab a mouse withOUT a wheel, I get all itchy & uncomfortable...I'm like..."I...can't...scroll...aaargh!"...so, I NEED a wheel...

Yes, ebay indeed, and I also want it to be ps/2, not USB....

Thanks for your replies!

Back to prehistory? (the computers of my children still have PS/2 mice).
There are adapters for that, I think. Or is it to plug PS/2 mice to USB entries?

...if PS/2 is the circle plug for KB/mouse, then I also want PS/2...OR...more USB ports...there's no reason to have a PS/2 port & waste a USB port on a KB/mouse...so either those 2 need replaced with USB or it's "pre-historic" PS/2 FTW...

2 years ago, HP was using the mouse and keyboard with PS/2 for a good computer... it's not so old, and always efficient ( I'm in this case )

I do not know the advantage of the mouse, but ps/2 keyboard under certain game allows, unlike USB, put a curdent into a button to cast a spell in a loop with infinite duration ( USB break loop, I don't know why, but this is not always the case )

there are adapters, and it seems now that the ps/2 can be plug/unplug, it will be recognized with no reboot...

Some tools we use industry work better without a scroll wheel for those that do not understand. I too have been searching for a 3 button mouse without the scroll wheel. The problem with the wheel for a button is that it is too easy roll the wheel when you are trying to use it as a button and it screws with the combination functionality one is trying to use.

As a disabled programmer with dexterity problems I've been trying to find one for a couple of years. The scroll wheel but is worse than useless!
