A simple fix for Mighty Mouse right-click issues
Authored by: noivad on Jan 05, '07 12:12:55AM

I had the same problem and took my finger off the left mouse button when right-clicking. Which, IMO, is a poor, clunky, unApple-like workaround. However, no matter what, you can't hit the left AND right button at the same time. Because of Apple's insistence to make the mouse look simpler and over design a way around a single problem introduced by the design they chose, I had to solve the problem they made by going out and buying a mouse.

It's a Razer, was expensive, and the company didn't stand behind its product when it broke, but (after buying one more) it's better than getting fragged over and over because you can't shoot and launch a grenade or dive and choose a target to attack at the same time.

I don't have a problem with right clicking on the Mighty Mouse. Why is it so hard (or, perhaps, anathema) for people with an index finger to click with that finger only, moving it to the left or to the right as need be? That's what I do, and I don't find it difficult at all. In fact, it's downright simple!

Please don't generalize your lack of problems to other people. I find it easier to use my index finger for left-click and middle finger for right-click because that's where those fingers naturally rest on the mouse. Using my index finger for right-click would be an awkward motion.
