I knew I shouldn’t have rolled around in that toxic waste…

And yet it was a vast vast improvement over the puck mouse. I still have a couple of these in use occasionally.
“Meat mitten” makes me think of questionable things…
Last I checked, that mouse had both left and right click, as do the newer versions… just because they’re not separated doesn’t mean that they don’t exist, although I am pretty sure that it’s the only mouse that a person with mitten hand can right click without completely removing hand from said mouse.
Actually it was the next generation, the ‘Mighty Mouse’ which had right click. This one was the last of the single-click units.
I remember the Mighty Mouse. Four clicks and a scroll ball made for some awesome functionality. There were, sadly, two issues I disliked about it:
a) To do a right click, your finger was practically on the edge of the mouse, because otherwise the mouse thought you were doing a normal click.
b) Though incredibly useful, once that scroll wheel got dirty, you were screwed, because you either had to break a few components to open the mouse, or you had to get a new one. And thanks to Apple, the latter option was no small investment.
A few years ago I bought a Microsoft wireless mouse (and later, a keyboard). They’re fully compatible with the Apple computers I still use. And I am happy with this setup.
Your avatar disqualifies anything you could possibly write.
And your irrelevant intolerance disqualifies any point you could possibly make here.
It makes me feel sick looking at that hand. At least we know why we have mittens now.
and you have yet to see what tiny brain is needed to keep using iShizz…
One button mice are long dead, but the myth lives on.
But it’s default (at least in Lion) to only have it work as a one button mouse.
Well, if you’re dumb enough to by a Mac, then you’re probably dumb enough to warrant mittens taped over your hands…
Ah yes, the standard, tired Flood ‘anti-Mac’ rhetoric…
Umad, Mac user?
Mad? Not really… just tired of reading the same stereotyped, boring, uninspired crap. We get it – you don’t like Macs, but your arrogance is tired and sad.
Macs are okay if you want an easy to use and overpriced Barely-a-computer. The only thing they have going for them is logic. The mice are awful to use.
Moving the cursor is like guiding blind and deaf man through a maze. Full of snakes.
And mines.
If you’re dumb enough to what by a Mac? Or did you mean “buy”?
Yup, tyro. Meant “buy”.
Lol, *typo. It’s like I’m using Apple’s single-key keyboard!
I don’t always sit down… but when I do… I do it by a Mac.
actually, the one button mouse is really simple to adjust depending on what hand you use.
two button mouse for PC: program your fingers to click the correct buttons or change the settings in the control panel.
one button mouse for mac: press the button (no learning or adjustments needed)
and for those that say you can’t right click, try control-click on a mac, a magic menu pops up – was that so hard to do?
Yes, that’s very hard to do.
There’s really not a whole lot of “learning or adjustments” required to click one of two buttons. Unless you have a severe mental handicap, in which case either OS is going to cause you problems. Maybe if you only have 1 functional finger, you might need to adjust, but most people do have more than 1 functional finger and so have no problems using 2 buttons.
Being able to right-click is a massive advantage as it gives you quick access to menus that ctrl-click makes ever so slightly more awkward. Alone it would not sway me between deciding between a Mac or a PC though.
(Also, you can right-click with 1 hand instead of two)
I agree. And I don’t know if I could live without a scroll wheel. Two buttons and a scroll wheel = perfect mouse for me. And please none of those thumb buttons… I keep pressing them by accident.
So, I need to use two hands to do what I can do with one hand on my PC?
No, you don’t.
I LOVE how mac-haters always choose to bring up the old one-button mouse… ignoring the fact that the one-button mouse hasn’t existed for over 10 years, and the current mac mouse not only has 3 buttons but is also multi-touch sensitive to include scrolling and gestures. I think that’s called WINNING.
I think you’re confusing a mouse with a touchpad.
No, the magic mouse has multi-touch capabilities as well.
NOPE CHUCK TESTA
Thanks for giving one more reason to not visit the Uncanny Valley.
Im pretty sure you could blend the thumb into the melted mess of a hand too…
My only issue with the Mac mouse is that the scroll ball on those older models wasn’t particularly comfortable to use, and was pretty small.
Then there’s the Razer Naga, for those of us who have 12 thumbs on the same hand.
