    Hey,
    I'm trying to find a mouse with a 4-way scroll wheel...
    That is, forward = scroll up, backward = scroll down, tilt left = scroll left, tilt right = scroll right.

    This will be for an Asus Eee PC, which is why I'll want the 4-way scroll functionality in my mouse.... web pages may be difficult to read with an 800x600 resolution :p

    The mouse/4-way scroll will need to work on the MS XP SP2 operating system.

    Thanks.

    p.s. i would prefer a wireless mouse, especially bluetooth!

    This seems to meet most of your criteria. It's USB and not Bluetooth, unfortunately. 4-Way Mouse

    It will work on Windows XP according to this review.

    middle click > four-way scroll

    I've personally found the left/right tilt to be cumbersome.. I never use it in windowed mode.., and if I do, it's on accident.

    Some of the MS mice have this as well. Even my Logitech LX7 has it.

    the wireless mighty mouse from apple.

    the scrollball gets stuck from time to time, but it's been okay for me.
    it's bluetooth connected.
