Oh man I wish I found this a lot earlier:

I have a Logitech Revolution MX mouse and it is really great except for the lack of middle-click! You can press down on the scroll and it “clicks” physically but it doesn’t send a mouse-button-3 event. After installing uberOptions that button is now configurable and it can be set to send this event. Now I no longer have to copy / paste selected text into Gnome Terminal, just middle-click! Also middle-click is useful for some games, like Modern Warefare 2 where it (by default) binds to grenade tossing.

But the best thing about the middle click is that it opens a webpage in a new tab without focusing on it!
