Got these 3 mice for free at the flea market!

Notice that the two were made on the same day, yet use different switches!

The side button on the red switch one wore out.

Hey, this looks like that character's face from the series Homestar Runner! I don't watch it, but it reminded me of it.

This is my new main mouse. I also got a Psion Organiser II for free from the same guy. Cool little thing.

This is the simplest mouse I've seen inside!

Does the second scroll wheel ever do anything without a driver?

I've not encountered one for years — seemed like an interesting idea.

More wiki fodder …

The second wheel probably does horizontal scrolling.

I think it's supposed to scroll sideways.

You can add these to the wiki. Just mention that they are my pictures.

Without it, it's a regular up down scrollwheel.

Curious, so the driver somehow allows it to tell one wheel from the other. I'm never keen on drivers — I prefer all new features to be standardised so that they can be used without needing yet another buggy driver. I never found another program that did proper wheel scrolling acceleration like IntelliPoint does, but IntelliPoint is buggy.
