I have a logitech wireless ball mouse.  It is a bit old now but the
thing functions fine.  I solved the problem of the middle button being
on the roller by buying a tiny push button switch from Dick Smith and
mounting that as a thumb button.  It was a relatively simple hardware
hack to get a thumb button - because I prefer to use the mouse in my
left hand my mousing options are rather limited.  It sucks to be one
of the superior minority ;)
