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]

The Opera web browser featured the back / forward switching without strange swiping gestures many years ago. Press the right button, hold it down, press the left one = back; you can press the left one e. g. 3 times to go back last 3 links switched. Forward works similar.
Because I always have one hand at the keybord, I'm fine with a standard (and wired) three button mouse. The programmable 2 x 10 keys on the left of the Sun Type 6 keyboard are very handy in modifying what happens when pointing or clicking something with the mouse.
