I have a vertical mouse, bought when I was worried about the
effect of long hours on my wrist. The mouse sits upright, with all the
buttons on the right hand side (you can also get left handed vertical
mice). The correct names would be "Top", "middle", "scroll", "Bottom"
and "Thumb" for the buttons on this mouse.

I have a number of mice where the number of buttons is neither 2
nor three; and the left most button is not button 1.
