Get a "upside-down-mouse": http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Wireless-trackman-mouse.jpg[^].
They are brilliant for that: you can click as much as you like and the mouse pointer doesn't budge. They are difficult to get used to, but I've been using them for about twenty or so years, and wouldn't go back to a "normal" mouse. And...they never fall off the mouse mat...

I know ppl that used to play CS 1.6 with trackballs, they surely kicked 4$$ as soon as they got used to it 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I keep meaning to try one. Maybe I'll give it a go.

I'm using one of these[^].
Takes a while to get used to, just like a trackman.
But great if you have shoulder pain as you can have both arms in front of you in a normal working position.

Not sure if it's at the hardware level or OS, but button 1+2 = Middle click, like clicking the scroll wheel.
Very useful in *nix systems - pastes whatever is on the clipboard into whatever is in focus.

Related question:
- Why is no 'double-click' button?
Why should I click twice in quick succession to get 'double-click'? I like to click only once and get a 'double-click'. May go a small way in reducing the syndromes coming with click mouse buttons 
Note: My laptop has no mouse 'middle-button'.

I have one on the pen of my Graphics Tablet - the tip acts as left button (but with analogue sensitivity) while a rocker switch does "right button" and "left double click". Very, very useful when you are trying to be precise in graphics apps.

Had only vaguely heard about it. I find that it is available in India, and not very expensive! Will go for it one of these days.

If I recall correctly, back in the UNIX era one had a three-button mouse. If one only had two buttons, the center button was emulated by clicking both at once.
Now you've started me wondering if the reverse would have been true.
I've been concentrating my inventive efforts on the one-button-two-hand mouse.

Um...It's been done?[^]
Mind you, some people just can't leave a good idea[^] alone...

I guess it's been designed by Vilmos, did you see the button "DRINK"? Next to "MIX" and "PUMP".

I used a three-button mouse for a long time (before the day of the mouse wheel). It was subtly shaped, almost like a duck's foot, and very comfortable to use.

What does "ClickBoth" mean? You want both buttons clicked at the same time? Why?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That's handled in software.
I seem to recall supporting that for some app I was working on a few years back.
|
|

Sure, but I don't remember ever having a driver that handled it, although I do recall using "hold right, click left" somewhere or other (but I think that was in an app, not the driver).
I don't see why it's not a standard driver/mouse-configuration feature; it's a simple enough thing, and would translate to multi-touch easily enough

What about a "click THIS" method...?
