Absolutely, it's indispensable in Unix systems I use, and used a lot in
Windoze too. My favourite mouse is a Logitech VX Nano; it has a scroll
wheel that can be set to freewheel for very fast scrolling, or set as
normal, but very importantly it also has a real middle button just
behind the scroll wheel. They're no longer made, but the Logitech MX
Anywhere is very similar. I have one VX and four MXs, and my only
regret is that there isn't a PS/2 version to use on my SGIs so I need an
adapter.
