New idea for a mouse + need review for IBM mouse

[gator]

I use a Microsoft optical mouse (comfort 1000) with my T60 and I hate the clicking noise the mouse buttons make. I was wondering whether there are any mice manufactures who make one with the kind of 'tap' technology that you see on laptop trackpads. I feel that would put a lot less strain on your fingers when you use the mouse.

I am sure there are people here who use the IBM mouse . Can anyone tell me how the mice are? Do they have a 'soft' click?

I dont know if this post belongs here - in case it doesn't, can the admins please move it to the proper place?

Here are some that have a touchpad in a external mouse configuration.

you could use the trackpoint.. the keys on it (at least on the T42 and X41 tablet) are silent and that way your hands never have to leave the keyboard

And if you are using a desktop, you can always get one of those IBM keyboards with integrated trackpoint. Ever since I got my first trackpoint (actually on a Toshiba Tecra) I have thought external mice were a waste of time.

Yup. I hate using my desktop computers because of dealing with a mouse. I want to get one of the IBM keyboards with trackpoint integrated, but I have a Happy Hacking Keyboard and I don't want to give up the awesome key feel of it :'(
