Can someone give me a honest full explanation as to why Mac has not put a right-click on the MBP or for that matter on their mouse?

They want to force developers to give users a way to get to all application functions via a one-button mouse to make the UI simpler for new users, it's that simple. Multi-button …

I think the best honest full explanation might be that Apple is quite satisifed with how "CTRL+CLICK" works. I've only been a Mac user for about a year now and I kind of like it. …

Nope. Ask Steve.

I have some bluetooth mice and have enjoyed the "right-click" feature all day long, the problem is that i get used to it and whenever i am on my laptop, sans mouse, i find myself f…

I think that these new Intel-based laptops should use the same technology that the Mighty Mouse has to make a "stealth" right-click out of a one-button trackpad.... This way, if yo…

control-click work fine on my mbp and the mightly mouse does have right click

Being a new Mac user and coming from the SGI world, hence three buttons' mouse all the way, I have to admit Apple mice are really beautiful… I got the USB 'Mouse', it looks great a…

The main complaint is on the laptops. Sure, you can plug in a two-button mouse, but that's one more thing to carry with you. And cntl-click doesn't work for everyone, especially pe…

On a mouse, you have a natural primary and secondary button, the primary being under your index finger. It's fairly intuitive. On the other hand, I can see two laptop buttons bein…

I dont agree with that. All of the Widows laptops have two buttons and there are a ton of "regular" users and beginners using them. The problem with control-click is that it is a p…

Ps. I'm sitting in class right now next to my friend using a IBM T41 with a trackpad, that annoying red thing in the middle of his keyboard and FIVE buttons.

I simply connect my USB mouse to my PB G4. No biggie, and since I'm an ex-windows user, it feels odd to use the ctrl-click method. I have never used the trackpad on a laptop, I al…

I'm an ex windows user and I got used to control clicking in like a week, it's pretty easy. Even if you have no use a second hand it's not a hassle because I'm never right clicking…

The more OSX keyboard shortcuts I learn, the less I find myself CTRL-clicking.

I wonder if Apple could/might use their scrolling trackpad technology to alleviate this problem. One of the things that bugs me about most of my PC-laptop-using friends is that non…

I expect we'll see a capactive area (like the iPod scroll wheel and Mighty Mouse button) on the laptop trackpad button so the user can choose between one or two virtual buttons wit…

no no, i agree, i am being picky. i use my right hand so that control key is in a weird place. I understand the simplicity that MAC has achieved. my new laptop is incredibly attrac…

yes yes, the mighty mouse, though i feel that is mac's secret way to satisfy us without really putting a right click button on the mouse. not to get into that argument, my interest…

I hope the NEVER put a right mouse button on their laptops! First I rarely use the right mouse button because there are quicker ways of doing all those things in that popup menu.…

This is slightly off topic but could someone please assist me on this? I installed XP on my MacBook Pro and it works perfectly but has anyone found a way to use the control-alt-del…
