True, you quickly discover that it's different. But does that make it
good? All mice have at least one button, and sometimes it's very logical
to use it. =)

Yes, care should be taken... There should not be lots of buttons and
menu's when it can be avoided. But in dialogs and stuff like that's its
often easier with two buttons: OK and Cancel than to remember that you
should press a certain key, etc...
