Yes, please! If you get a good source (of the *NON* OEM variety), do let
me know. The OEM ones have two tiny wheels inline down the centreline of
the mouse, and suck. The non-OEM ones have two larger wheels across the
mouse about 1/3 of the length down from the buttons. The one I have
(which my daughter just crushed one of the microswitches in, sigh) has
two microswitches on the board, and obvious holes for a third.
