The scroll wheel can be clicked as a middle mouse button on most mice.

That's true, but it's very awkward. In Acme, the middle button means 'execute command'. You need to press it constantly, often in combination with other buttons. A clickable scroll wheel is not good enough.

Maybe a mouse with touch scroll
