A simple fix for Mighty Mouse right-click issues
Authored by: johnsawyercjs on Aug 17, '07 11:54:14AM

As others have noted above, a sure fix is:

Goto: store or website
Buy: a different, normal two-button mouse that doesn't try to pointlessly redefine how we use two-button mice

My current favorite is the Logitech LX-5 wireless optical mouse. Not too big, not too small, not too weird a shape, no extra buttons to get in the way. Has a scroll wheel that does horizontal scrolling too. $25 at Radio Shack, etc. Uses a transceiver on the end of a cable, not a little flash drive-style USB dongle as I would have preferred, but I'll live. Radio frequency it uses isn't 2.4 GHz, unlike some, so its signal doesn't get messed up when there's a wifi transmission happening in the room--with another mouse I've got, that uses 2.4 GHz, connected to a desktop Mac, its pointer becomes very jumpy when I'm downloading files over a wifi connection, using a laptop within a couple feet of the mouse.

You can also make mice noticeably lighter, by using lithium batteries.
