I've got a Roccat Kone Aimo Remastered (ROC-11-820-BK, P/N GM1820-02-A01). It's got a wheel (with tilt), 2 clickable middle buttons, front/back, and a a sort of "shift" key for the mouse (hold it and any button can be mapped to an alternate function). Pretty comfortable (to me), and the driver can save all the settings to hardware in the mouse, so you theoretically don't need to keep the driver installed after you initially set the mouse up.
Agreed. I have a 3Dconnexion CadMouse Pro Wireless, which is the only mouse I could find with [an actual middle mouse button in addition to a clickable scroll wheel]. After upgrading to Big Sur, physically clicking any mouse button doesn't register click events with the operating system. So I can move the cursor but not click it. The recommended workaround is to plug it in with the USB cable and use it that way.
Is it 3Dconnexion's or Apple's fault? No idea, but this is just insane. When was the last time an OS upgrade caused your _mouse_ to stop working!? It's like taking a time warp back to the 90s.
