[comp.sys.amiga] My-T-Mouse

Just got a My-T-Mouse today for my A2000.  This is a 3 button mouse for
the Amiga but not the optical type like the Boing!.  I really like this
mouse.  There's no descernible click-click and it's very sensitive to the
touch.  It also firmly screw-attaches to the mouse port.

I got it from Abel Supply (the oft-maligned, but for me efficient) for
only $35 (list is about $60, I think).

My-T-Mouse is from Performance Computer Products and distributed through
Southern Technologies in Dallas.

Question time:

1) How sturdy are the mouse buttons?  Are they real leaf switches,
like the Boing! and Sun mice, or are they bubble-type switches like
that found in the standard Amiga mice?  There is a big difference in
quality, and the reason I would like to upgrade is that the buttons on
my Amiga mouse have deteriorated considerably since I purchased my
machine (late 86).

2) Does the mouse plug into a port where you can't "screw it in", say
the mouse port on the A1000?

    The obvious question: will this mouse work with X?
