It's also got a bunch of keys that can be bound to various functions. The only downside is that it's wired, but it's a sufficiently long cord that can reach pretty far if you need to route it through a desk. I'm on a laptop most of the time, so the cord generally just gets in the way, but I can see it for desktop use. The big difference this mouse has over a lot of others is a 3rd mouse button plus a scroll wheel (not too many mice have that). The middle button acts as a scroll wheel click, so you can scroll wheel click without worrying that you're going to zoom in or out accidentally.

What makes the cadmouse great for CAD?
When I first saw this mouse I thought it was a joke - a hundred bucks for a middle mouse button?! Are there other features I'm not seeing?
