In the late 80s the only computer that you regularly used a mouse on was either a Mac or Apple IIGS. At the time they only had one mouse button... but that was one more than PCs but that didn't stop the debate over the command line versus GUI...

After Windows 95 if was two button mice versus one button... which was also irrelevent...

I have nothing against holding down two buttons for movement... but I've never used it... I'm just saying your history seems a little off...

BTW if your mouse has 24 buttons WHY do you even need to hold the two buttons down for forward movement?
What the heck are you talking about?

I bought my first PC in 1991, iirc. I've NEVER EVER even seen a one-button mouse for PC, only for Mac.

Mac/Apple mice in the 80 had one button, but that was one more than PC mice? Get your facts straight, PC mice existed all through the 80s, and they weren't withouth buttons...

OT:

I prefer mice with two side buttons. In MMOs I usually program these for autorun and jump (if the game has jumping). I've never had problems configuring my mice in other games, so for me, this is pretty much a *must have* in FFXIV too, since I'm so used to it. At least, having to use the keyboard to move, is an absolute no-no in the long run, at least for me.
