I went and devoted some voting points to this one.  I've got a Logitech Marble 
F/X with 4 buttons.  Under MS-Win I used to have button 4 configured to allow 
the trackball to scroll a page.  Button 3 was assigned to click-and-hold 
which is a fantastic feature for doing graphics editing.

The Windows drivers from Logitech allowed for all kinds of stuff to be 
assigned to the mouse buttons.  Seeing as how there are a number of mice and 
trakballs out there with more than 3 buttons, this could apply to a wide 
range of devices.
