@rl_dane@polymaths.social @SamuraiSakura@mastodon.bsd.cafe Really? I think I might even have a three button USB one in my Mouse Bucket™, the were a possibility long after e.g. you weren't able to get non-Windows-keyboards anymore (and I'm talking about just three buttons in the front, there are still some mice with three buttons and a scroll while, especially those vertical "war veteran" ones).
Probably the reason why I'm still opening links with a scroll wheel click and close tabs that way.
I still miss my PS/2 Logitech Trackman (three buttons, trackball at thumb position), but the death of scroll bars have made non-wheel devices harder to use, never mind that by now I might get a bit of thumb RSI from using it longer. (They made one with a mouse wheel, too, but that's not my nirvana model)

@mhd@tilde.zone @SamuraiSakura@mastodon.bsd.cafe I've seen three-button USB mice here and there, but not optical. KDE still has mostly usable scrollbars. Firefox and Thunderbird can have them if you tweak in about:config. I just avoid software with crappy scrollbars and/or "Client-Side Decorations" Life's too short for all that nonsense.
