I would really like something like this. It would be great for laptops. Especially older ones.

But the click-both-buttons-together substitute doesn't seem to quite cut it on a center-front touchpad, and I find lack of an easy middle-click to be a real snag.

I wouldn't last five minutes with a two-button laptop. I use that middle button a way lot, especially for fast pastes.

I take it, "older laptop" means "touchpad doesn't support multi-touch"?

My EeePC has multi-touch, and I use it all the time. Two fingers is middle-click/mouse wheel, and three fingers is right-click.

That is not necessarily true for the IBM Thinkpad T42, My old one with display hinge broken has a middle button that sticks out like a sore thumb. :-)

My daughter's HP Pavilion DM1z has that but she had me turn it off because she couldn't get used to it.
