Roccat Kone XTD+

+ mousewheel can be "nudged" left-right, works as middle mouse button and has clear "steps"

+ 2 extra buttons (would prefer 3)

o driver could be better, but does most things

o relatively bulky

What does that do? Is it related to the middle button functionality or something else?

it acts as two extra buttons, which you either could use for left-right scrolling or as any other button function. I have them bound to browser forwards-backwards and in combination with one of the other keys for switching tracks in media player.
