Moderately off topic, but the writer did mention healbot...

I've got your typical 5 button mouse (not including a few extra buttons for variable sensitivity and whatever else)

However, I only use 3 actively with healbot and rely on fairly simple keyboard modifiers (shift/cntrl/alt and combinations of those 3) to put just about every healing trick I can at the hands of my Holy Paladin

Left - FoL, Middle - Holy Shock, Right - Holy Light
Shift-Left - Sacred Shield
Cntrl-Left - Beacon
Alt-left - Blessing of Freedom
Alt-Right - Blessing of Salvation

And so on, and so forth, including HoP, Blessing of Sacrifice, etc, etc

I'm not sure if remembering the keyboard modifiers and mouse combination is tougher or not then remembering what a set of extra buttons on the mouse do. But HB/w a normal mouse has been more than powerful to get me through raids. I'm pretty sure a non-standard mouse would have me cursing up a storm at the buttons I had no intention to press - until I got used to it.

Of course, it's cool for those it works for I am sure!
