Me too... I've been using a corded Logitech MX400 for close to a year
now and love it.

As I have it configured:

Left & right click are normal.

Clicking straight down on the Scroll wheel opens 'Application Switcher'
(likely to be changed soon...)

'Rocking' the scroll wheel to the left opens a new Safari browser page.

'Rocking' the scroll wheel to the right operates the expose 'all
windows' feature. Very quick and handy... gets used MANY times a day.

The back thumb button scrolls down a page at a time. (Same as 'Page
Down' on the keyboard.)

And the forward thumb button jumps to the top of a page (Same as 'Home'
on the keyboard.)
