Hello, After a bit of googling, I'd say the choices are either true three-button _or_ cordless. Then there's the trackball route. I hate them, but my wife loves them. At home, I use a left-handed three-button serial testicle mouse from Logitech. At work (a Windows-only house) I use a left-handed true three-button with wheel and rocker switch USB optical mouse from Contour Design. I can live without the wheel, but I love my rocker switch because it effectively adds two buttons. So if being corded is less of a problem than the button/wheel issue, I would suggest checking out http://www.contourdesign.com/perfit-new.htm. The mouse is even available in different sizes.
