    3 button mouse

    I recently downloaded the Maya personal learning edition and it makes use of a 3 button mouse for many functions. I have an intellimouse explorer with the wheel and I am unable to use this as the middle button. I do have the intellimouse software installed but it does not have the option to make it a third button. it's options include double click, triple click, scroll lock, ect...

    Does anybody know of any software I can use to make this third button act as a "middle" button of any other unix variant?

    Or maybe even just emulate the third button somehow?

    Edit: I guess I should play around with the settings more often. I just disabled the intellimouse software and it works great. Now my mouse moves extremely slow now. I guess I'm off to hack the mouse plist now

    Or you could use USB-Overdrive...it lets you customize your mouse at free will (ok, it will never brew the coffee...) and is all around wonder (or has been for me...)
