Scroll wheels. So you can scroll without having to click arrows or drag the scrollbar.

I use Microsoft's Intellimice, so I poked around on their website and came up with this, if you've never seen one (it's the thing in the middle, between the two buttons):

Or, if you're just joking around, disregard this post. =P

I agree, they're about $10 and it will save you the trouble of trying to fix your own then possible screwing it up anyways.
