I hate being without a middle mouse button, but pushing down on a scroll wheel is not the solution—it often triggers a scroll or tilt which sucks. Middle-mouse buttons are super useful in CAD / GIS or 3d modelling domains for panning.
I even use BetterTouchTool to create a tap zone on my track pad to emulate a 3rd button (and a few other gestures, like top right to middle to right edge to send a CMD-W and rotating [two fingers in opposite directions] to switch tabs left or right/back or forwards).
- foresto 4y ago> pushing down on a scroll wheel is not the solution—it often triggers a scroll or tilt which sucks. This is my complaint about the wide adoption of the IntelliMouse design, which replaced the previously-common middle button with the clickable wheel. It always imposes at least one of these problems: - accidental clicks - accidental wheel movement - accidental mouse movement - hard on the wrists - wears out too early It's such an awful substitute that, when forced to use most wheel mice, I resentfully give up on middle click actions (which I normally use a lot). Fortunately, there are a few mice with both a wheel and a middle button: - 3Dconnexion CadMouse Pro - Logitech G600 (requires remapping w/ ratbagctl) - EVGA X15 (I think)
