Middle mouse button.

[QuickTwist]

Do you use it while browsing the internet?

Sometimes I hotkey my middle mouse button to Home, sometimes I just keep it the same.

I imagine it's a button most people don't think about too much, but I use it a fair bit.

I should figure out what mine does by default. I remember recently feeling covetous of a co-worker's fancy 14 (or something seemingly ridiculous) buttons programmable gaming mouse which he has tuned up with all kinds of shortcuttery. Shortly thereafter I realised that one Dell mouse I had been using for YEARS has got two buttons i didn't even realize were there to begin with. I use my wheels regularly.

I use it all the time for work when manipulating maps. middle scroll to zoom, middle button to move map. That is about the extent of my middle button usage

I just use it for scrolling in web browsers and office applications.

I think it has the "tractor beam space loot" function in one of the space games that I play in my laptop.

I don't use it in web browsing beyond basic scrolling, but it's a heavily used navigation tool in the BIM modelling that I do probably 1-2 full days in every week as part of my job.

Sorry there are other mouse buttons? It's probably my most used button apart from left click.

I have one and I use it. I also have a back and front key. Pretty good for gaming.

I think it's standard for all mouses now, though.

Clarification: I was talking about clicking the middle mouse button, not scrolling because I am pretty sure everyone uses the middle mouse button to scroll.
