The Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center (optional install) supports remapping the middle button to paste text, but I don't know if that works for arbitrary keyboards and mice. (I have a Sculpt keyboard.)

Also, I had forgotten about the common use of the middle button for pasting as I have not used Linux desktops for a while. Maybe I should remap this now :)

It's not really making middle-click be paste, it's automatically storing the last text selection somewhere that's the problem.

It's normally a separate clipboard, allowing you to wrangle two bits of text at once.
