If you are unhappy with your mouse, I'd recommend a look at the A+
Mouse from MSC Technologies (nee Mouse Systems).  It comes in versions
(not interchangeable) for old Macs (Plus and earlier) and for ADB (SE
and newer).  It uses no moving parts; rather, internal laser(s)
reflecting from a special mouse pad.  I've never had any trouble with
it.  If you use a Sun workstation, the manufacturer is the same (but
the A+ only has one button, of course).  The main disadvantage is the
requirement for the special mouse pad; but as I had been using a
rubber mouse pad already this was no change for me (in fact, I keep
the optical pad on top of the old pad).  The optical pad that comes is
thinner and not as stiff as the Sun version, but again that has proved
to be no disadvantage.  No software comes with the mouse, nor is any
special software needed.  It is available from mail order places for
$90 or less (ADB version, older interface is cheaper).

I have no connection with MSC except as a satisfied user.
