For all the 1-button Mac Squeakers out there, there's a new 3-button USB
mouse called the UniMouse, which I purchased recently and is worthy of
recommendation. (I grew weary of holding down the option/command keys,
myself... although I agree that it's important for Squeak to be at least
functional in 1-button environments.)
Anyway, the UniMouse has 3 buttons, a large left and right button
and a smaller middle button. The mouse is large and oblong and
generally feels pretty nice, though, especially if you currently have one
of the cute-but-difficult-to-orient circular iMac mice.
The website is at: http://www.contourdesign.com/unimouse.htm
There are a bunch of drivers on the website, including the Squeak button
combination of click, option-click, command-click for left, middle, right
(or reversed for lefties). It also comes in a variety of translucent
colors (a la the new iMac colors), but being a USB mouse, it will only
work on newer Macs such as iMacs and the new G3's.
They're also becoming available at various mail order sources such as
MacMall, I believe...
