I've had great success with the Kensington line of 3-button mice. My
last one was bought > 5 yrs ago, & it still works just fine.

Friends, Frogs, Countrymen:
Having decided to undergo Retail Therapy, I'm in the market for a
three (Count 'Em: 3!) button mouse. Can you recommend a specific
model?
Of course I want one that works well with Apple's X11, but I also
need it to work well with whatever X11 Debian Linux is using these
days.
I want a wired (not wireless) USB mouse. I don't have much
experience with optical mice, which is one reason I'm asking you
here - but I do know for sure that I'm real tired of scraping the
toejam off my mechanical mouse's wheels!
I don't really need a scroll wheel, but if it has one I'd want it to
double as the middle button.
Extra credit if I can buy it from a brick-and-mortar store in The
Valley. My favorites are Micro Center and Central Computers:

In a pinch I'll even shop at Fry's:

... but only when Micro Center or Central Computers don't carry what
I want. :-D
(You're welcome to recommend other shops.)
While price is a consideration, I believe quite strongly in
investing in high-quality equipment that will be of lasting value.
So if I can't afford the mouse you recommend, I'll save up my ducats
until I can.
Thank You For Bestowing Your Kind Wisdom Upon Yours Truly.

Software isn't the only thing that should be free:
Music should be too, as it once was.
