I've been using the Logitech Bus Mouse for a year now.  It's reliable, smooth
comfortable over long periods of use in editors, MS Windows and various 
graphics programs.

I've got the three button variety and have NEVER had a use for the third button
except in mouse script work written for the Logitech.  The bus mouse seems to be
the way to go if you want to avoid  dedicating your serial port to the mouse.

I've never had a dirt problem with it.  I wish I had their new high res version
which is supposed to be 300 dpi.
