Do you have some reason for not wanting to use a scrollwheel?

Not really, but looking on Google for 3-button mice, I saw a message that
said a scroll-wheel mouse is fiddly to use, and the scroll-wheel has to be
clicked accurately, or something to that effect.

I have never had a problem with this in the 4/5 years that I have been using
Linux, with a large variety of different scroll wheel mice on a number of
different computers and in various distros. I find a scroll wheel mouse much
easier to use than a three button mouse, because the distinction between the
buttons is easier to identify.
