   To make a long story short, can somebody recommend a replacement
   mouse?  I'd prefer an optical one so I don't have to deal with the
   cleaning part (aside from a shine on the pad), but anything will do.

I recently purchased the Boing! optical mouse, and am VERY pleased.
Movement is smooth (with higher resolution than the Amiga mouse) and
it has three buttons (hoping that 1.4 will support this.)  It cost me
$110 at a local shop.  I'd say buy it.

If you can get your hands on a (cheap) SUN-mouse type 'm3'
then get it instead ! you just have to connect a 9 wires
between a female DB9 and a internal row of solder-blobs.

inside the sun-mouse: 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01

female DB9:              02 07 08 04 03 01 06 05 09

if any have a solution how to connect a 'm4'-type of mouse, I
would be very intressed how to do it.
