Absolutely. For me I love my 8 button Logitech MX518... the next and previous
buttons, configured with SteerMouse (or USB Overdrive) makes a huge difference
for me. For others the shape of the mouse does not feel right, or the idea of
having so many buttons is intimidating. And that is fine.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
