one button or two?? macbook??

[deanops]

hi all,
just a quick question... are the macbooks 1 button mice (the trackpad) or two?? i'm asking this mainly b/c i'm a windows user and may put it on in boot camp... if not can i get a mighty mouse and use both buttons

The MacBooks have 1 button mice. Here is Apple Store link.

1 Button.
But you hold [ctrl] + [click] to right click. It only takes a while to get used to.
If you MUST have another mouse, I would try out the mighty mouse before buying, some people love them, but some people hate them. Personally I use a Logitech. More comfortable.

In Mac OS, if you click with two fingers instead of one, it will construe that as a right-click/ctrl+click.

I have no experience with Windows on the Mac but perhaps it works in Windows too? I'm sure someone must know...

its not set to do that by default though

I have a small application in my startup items in Windows that lets me control-click to access the right-click menu. Can't remember it's name though but Google never forgets.

It works. What else can be said?

On the Macbook with Bootcamp, you can put two fingers on the trackpad and click for a right click.

Between click to tap and two fingered tap I almost never actually use the button. On my last laptop I had a trackpad with a scroll area, but with two finger scrolling it's even better since vertical and horizontal "Just works"

I use Parallels and the two-finger trackpad click as well as the two-finger scroll both work quite well in Windows.

I don't have two-fingered clicking (yet - should have it by next week on a new MacBook 😀 ) but I love the two fingered scrolling. Aside from OS X itself it is my favorite thing about using a Mac!
