Quick Question - Right Click

Talbs13 · 28 Jan 2008 at 22:33

Hey

Im just about to purchase a MacPro to complete my switch over from Windows.

I want to use my Logitech MX518 mouse which i know works but what about right click? Will it just work? or will it need tweaking?

I cant live without right click functionality

Thanks,

James

It just works.

Mac OS X comes with right click functionality out of the box, it's just that Apple has historically chosen to sell one button mice with their computers, and now that they are selling two button mice (Mighty Mouse), they're still setting the right-button to left click.

Depending on the mouse you may have to go into System Preferences and set your right-button to "Secondary Click". But that really is all you'll have to do.

It'll work fine.

Two fingers on the touchpad and press the button = right click.

I loves it, along with the two finger scroll. Wish my MacBook did the rest of the tricks that the Air's touchpad can...

A Mac Pro doesn't have a trackpad.

Just get a nice (read not Mighty Mouse) two button mouse then...

I already have a MacBook and use the "Secondary Click" which works fine.

Thanks.
