I don't know how to do this, so if someone does, it would be very nice.

I've been thinking about getting a Logitech MX 700 or 900. Something similar so I have more buttons on my mouse so that I can do all types of expose without having to hit keys on my keyboard.

How about this? You right click to invoke expose (your choosing of the style). Then either scroll up or scroll down to change the style.

I just know normally I want all windows, but when I'm programming or working in photoshop, it's nice to just see those windows, and not the tons of others I have open.

Uh... no, that won't work. Even if Logitech made GOOD drivers, it still wouldn't work that way.

However, the MX500/700/900 has three extra buttons. I just assign F9, F10 and F11 to the three little buttons on my MX700.

I'm saying, either someone writes a program (which you say won't be easy with bad drivers) or Apple implements that idea.

I know the MX mice have extra buttons that is why I'm getting one But I'm saying I wouldn't have to is it was as I said.

I have a MS Explorer mouse assigned as follows:-

Thumb 1 = Application Windows
Thumb 2 = All Windows
Scroll Click = Desktop

Ok...the point isn't that you can't get a mouse with more then two buttons and a scroll wheel (scroll wheel being a third mouse button)

The point is that a lot of users are/were happy with a cheap $20 - $40 mouse that has three buttons, and my idea is a way for them to be able to enjoy expose better.
