        I have a vertical mouse, bought when I was worried about the
 effect of long hours on my wrist.  The mouse sits upright, with all the
 buttons on the right hand side (you can also get left handed vertical
 mice).  The correct names would be "Top", "middle", "scroll", "Bottom"
 and "Thumb" for the buttons on this mouse.

        I have a number of mice where the number of buttons is neither 2
 nor three; and the left most button is not button 1.
