Mice and Pointing Devices

I. too, hate the getting rid of the middle click and putting in the switch to go from fast scroll to precise scroll, but this is what I just did.  I changed the scroll left and right (which I'm not used to using) into middle clicks.  Instead of clicking middle mouse button by pushing down, I push left or right.  Not ideal, but not bad.

I can't change the button below because that's what I use for Expose Windows. 

This was really a dumb bone headed move by Logitech though.  In fact I bought this mouse because the Magic Mouse didn't have a reliable middle click.

Completely agree that not having a middle click on the wheel is a woeful omission that makes it super clunky for any program - ProE / Creo and Solidworks in my case that use that fuinction for navigation.

(I too bought because Apple's Magic Mouse does not support a middle click in Windows)

I was even assured by Currys / PC World here in the UK that the gentle click on the mouse wheel was a single click, the mode change to scroll by line was a "double click'.  Totally wrong.

So, the other "unified' Logitech mouse is too small for my hand, so I bought this one, and this one requires me to constantly change from comfortable scroll placement to doubled up middle finger to make the centre button the click, which then has a different pressure to click as well.

Nice shape and smooth scroll, the rest is a disaster for CAD - i don't want to have to try to re-learn middle click behaviour to use a mouse that then needs to be un-learned again if switching to a 'normal' / microsoft etc PC mouse.  

Maddening omission  - I would rather it had only one scroll mode but follwed convention for the middle click.
