What's the difference in production costs between a 2-button-nowheel mouse and a 3-button-wheel mouse? Discussions like these continue to exist as long as cheap-end mouses are being made. If the difference is only a few $ why not every mouse a 3b+wheel as standard? That's the great thing about standardization, no more discussions like 'oh, but do they and they have this and this and should we support that and that?', just everything the same except speed/performance/storage-capacity.
