Is complexity (and wearing this on the outside) an inherit part of open source design? FactoryJoe compares the OpenOfficeMouse (a mouse with 18 programmable buttons and even an analogue joystick) and the Apple Magic Mouse-"To me, the OpenOfficeMouse seems like such a typical product from the open source community." [Kroc: I honestly believed the OpenOfficeMouse to be a very clever satirical joke, the irony that it isn't suspends belief]

If you work with the mouse a lot and need more shortcuts to get stuff done I could imagine this hideous mouse to be useful.
I love my wired 5 button mouse and I wouldn't mind another button. Those forward / backward buttons are awesome IMO and I wouldn't exchange them for not 100% working swiping gestures etc.
