Where can I find a dual scroll wheel mouse?

[86waterpumper]

This may seem like a silly question, I know they still make these, but usually the ones I can find are some multi function 60 dollar gaming mouse or something. For years where I work we have used A4tech mice such as this one

http://www.a4tech.com/product.asp?cid=&scid=&id=22

a time or two we have bought these too

http://www.amazon.com/Aopen-35G-Opti...896890-8928515

at any rate, these mice we have still work great with xp, but as we are rolling over a few systems to windows 7, the mice still work but they don't have the 2nd wheel funcitonality. They are so old that there is no driver available, and the xp/ vista driver will still not install even in compatibility mode. All other dual wheel mice I see that are made nowdays have the second wheel placed horizontally and just don't work as well. Does anyone know how to get the driver to install, or know a source for a company still making a oldschool type dual top wheels mouse?

I don't know how good they are...they were one of the first links when I googled "dual scroll wheel mouse."

I used to use that exact A4tech mouse, got it in the clearance bin of a local store for $5.

Why would you want one these days though?

why would I not want one? It still does what we bought it for very well, which is to scroll in autocad drawings, up and down with the one wheel, and sideways with the second. If someone has a better alternative by all means let me know. Obviously if you just bought it to have a regular mouse and don't care about the 2nd scroll wheel then no it wouldn't matter.
as for the one on amazon, i saw that one today myself...and it may be my only option. However, judging from the reviews it's pretty well a piece of crap, but you know how reviews are, you never know if the person had it setup right, or if it could have been some other glitch on their computer etc. I do see that some of the reviews are from 2005, so I don't think this would have win 7 support either

Have you tried a mouse with a tilt wheel? Not as good as another wheel but it would work.

Doesn't the MX Revolution have two scroll wheels, but one is next to the thumb?

A bit on the expensive side, but it has a thumb side scroll wheel that should be programmable with CAD programs.

Holy crap that's FUGLY!

Yeah I can find the few examples around that still have the sideways second wheel...looks like it is impossible to find a dual top wheel anymore. For sure I don't want to pay nearly 100 bucks for one. Any of the other gaming features you are paying for would be completely wasted. Anyway thanks for the help, looks like it is sidewheel scroll or do without
