The one I really love for comfort and "feel good" is the 
two-button-plus-scrollwheel Kensington Mouse In a Box. About $12, a 
five-year warranty they honor "no questions asked" and incredibly 
comfortable to use, with the best software on the market.

My only beef with the MightyMouse is the anemic Mouse software in the 
system, and the fact that there is no divider between left and right 
buttons so you have to learn to be careful to click far enough to the 
right. I still get my share of accidental right clicks when I meant 
to left click.  Why can't there be a tactile signal when you have 
passed over the invisible divide between left and right?
