Mark sent me the note below.  I am pretty sure others are  having success 
as well.  So will look at multi-functional programmable mice  for the shack 
here.

I use a fairly simple one, with one button (as well as pressing the wheel)  
for ESC and the
other extra button for ALT-W (clear callsign in  N1MM).  I find I've become 
so ingrained
with hitting ESC on the  keyboard that I don't use it as much as I thought. 
With N1MM
and ESM,  with right click sends enter, most of the actions are driven from 
the mouse  so
I don't usually use the keyboard for anything except odd calls that call  
parsing did not
decode or of course ESC.

I use a Logitech  USB  MX518 mouse.  I also used a wireless microsoft mouse 
but  it
was a 27Mhz variety and seemed to get confused sometimes.

Hi Rod  and the group,

Rod, if you get any useful answers, I would be  interested too!
As part of myshack upgrade to Win7, I found that I needed  to get a better
mouse than the old ball-style mouse I had  previously.
The new one I have is seemingly for gamers, but works amazingly  well, and
has 7 or 8 configurable buttons.
As yet, I have not even  contemplated looking at this possibility, although
it had crossed my mind  when I bought it.

Could be useful!
