In three parts:

You may want to try to salvage your mouse: get the button fixed.  This is 
especially true if you have a "made in Japan" mouse.  As you may get the
inferior "made in Taiwan" mouse that Atari ships now (this is no swipe at
Taiwanese manufacturing.  That mouse has a bad track record, and is inferior
in construction.  Just open one and compare it to the Japan mouse).

I don't like mice much, and I hate the the mice on the ST, Amiga, and Mac.
Is there a hack to put a logitech, microsoft, or MSC (my fave) mouse on an
ST?  And are there any vendors who sell mice (and pads) without the IBM-PC
interface boards?

Is there any standard way to adjust the mouse cursor speed like in X? (set
mouse velocity, acceleration, and delta to move).
