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)
