My old Dexxa 3-button had lost one of the slide buttons on the bottom and was dragging. Trying to find a 3-button mouse replacement was much more complicated than I thought it would be. There are 3-button mice but the only one I could find in the local stores that would work as a 3-button mouse was a brandnew Logitech First mouse, 3-button, ps/2/serial. I also couldn't swap the "ps/2 to db9 serial connector" between the various mice. You only have the two styles of 10-pin socket to db9/db25 connector's. I have had one Asus style and everything else has been the Intel/DTK style.
