hi
I am looking for a ps/2 keyboard with a 3 buttons trackball
I am currently using a Cherry's kb, but it has a built-in 2 buttons
trackball and the software I need to use requires the third button to
select items
what do you suggest, guys?

Have you experimented with the option where pressing both buttons
simulatenously simulates the middle button? A configurable option in
most Windows mouse drivers; default behaviour in Linux, AFAIK.

Please bottom-post on the list if you can. Gmail does it fine. I'm
doing it right now. Hit Ctrl-A, trim, paste below.
I don't know TexExpress. What OS does it run under?

Oh boy. Yeah, I see what you mean.
That is going to be tricky, then.
Is a separate mouse/trackball out of the question?
Few PS/2 keyboards are made any more, so you're looking for a subtype
of a subtype of older device. It's not impossible, they are out there
-- a quick Google using your subject line finds several. But most are
USB, probably mislabelled. Same as most "USB to PS/2" convertors are
mislabelled "PS/2 to USB convertors".
