Hi guys. I've been enjoying my mac for about three months now and I'm proud to say it's the best purchase I've ever made. Unfortunately though, nothing is ever perfect. I'm not very happy with the Mighty Mouse.
I use the Mighty Mouse as a two-button mouse, and in a lot of programs (especially games, where control matters a lot) I end up clicking with the left mouse button when I want to click the right mouse button. I tend to let my fingers hover in the middle of the mouse - I know you have to press closer to the outside of the mouse to be sure to get a positive click, but I find it uncomfortable to keep my fingers in that position.
So anyways, I'd like to be able to use a PC mouse with the mac, but I can't seem to get the buttons to work correctly. I have a Microsoft wireless mouse that hooks up via USB. It works to move the pointer, and the trackwheel works, but the left button clicks as if it's the secondary button (it should be the primary) the right button doesn't do anything. Changing the mouse settings in system preferences has no effect.
I did a forum search but didn't find any information that I thought was relevant. I may not have been searching for the right things though.
I don't have any drivers for this mouse, as it didn't come with any.
Is there anything I can do to make this work?
