Logitec makes a couple optical mice now, too. Unfortunately they're of the
two-button wheelmouse variety, which I don't particularly like. The wheel
functions okay as a middle button, but I find it uncomfortable to use.
I bought one, and I love its performance, but I don't like the lack of a 
"real" middle button.

I've got a couple different generations of Logitec 3-button mice on my
machines at home. If Logitec came out with a decent 3-button optical mouse,
I'd be strongly tempted to replace all the older ones.
