Do you waste half your mouse? Unless you're a MAC user, your mouse probably has one or more mouse buttons. Your mouse may also have a wheel button.
I wanted to mention a quick tip that could boost your productivity for no extra cost -- use your whole mouse.
If your mouse has a scroll wheel and is detected by Windows as such, you should be able to scroll web pages in Internet Explorer just by turning the wheel up or down.
The most under-utilized button is the right button. I've watched many users scroll all over an application to pull down menus when all that is needed is a right-click.
The right-mouse button is typically configured to pull up the context menu. Most applications are developed with context menus to simplify usability. It is called a context menu because the menu is different depending on what item you right-click. In Excel, you may right-click a cell and be able to copy the contents without going to the menu bar. In Internet Explorer, you may right-click an image and print it.
Don't waste half your mouse. Right-click something and see what you can do.
