Both ADB mice were pretty pleasant to use, apart from the softness of the ADB II's mouse button.

Control-click has worked as a straightforward substitute for right-click on Macs for a long time now.

Interstingly it was Microsoft that really introduced "ergonomic" mouse shapes, with the "Dove bar" mouse http://www.ideo.com/work/mouse-for-microsoft/ and then the Microsoft Mouse 2.0.

There's an image of "Carrera", the Microsoft Mouse 2.0 with an interview of (one of?) its designer(s) at http://www.affectivedesign.org/archives/151 .

The MoMA collection page http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=3436 gives Steven T. Kaneko as the designer, actually.
