![]() Looks can be deceiving as the two side buttons of the Mighty Mouse only function as one, and only if they are both depressed at the same time. The second difference is that there are now two side buttons on the mouse (they existed on prior Apple mice, but they didn't function as buttons). The first obvious difference is that the Mighty Mouse features a scroll ball, whereas previous mice had no scrolling specific buttons/balls/wheels. ![]() The Mighty Mouse looks a lot like Apple's previous one-button mouse, with a few visible exceptions. Of course, now that it's no longer a problem for me, Apple finally broke tradition and launched their first multi-button mouse for USB enabled Macs, and it's called the Mighty Mouse and it retails for $49.99. I still prefer to have a multi-button mouse, but it's not the deal breaker for me that it once was. As time went on, I began to see both sides of the argument and truth be told, today, I can actually get by with a one-button mouse on a Mac just fine. I'd spent my mousing-life with two buttons and having to give one of them up would be too much to ask, if I were to be as objective as possible. ![]() There are many justifications thrown about for the use of a one-button mouse, just as there are many for the use of a multi-button mouse, but regardless of what they are, they have been here for a couple of decades now.īack during the planning days of my Mac experiment, I knew that in order to give the platform a fair chance, I couldn't use that mouse. More recently, PCs grew a few more buttons and wheels on their mice, all the while Apple refused to move beyond the one. ![]() PC arguments has always been the mouse argument more specifically, Macs had one-button mice, while PCs had two. Giving Macs a chance for the first time last year wasn't all that hard, except for one major issue on which I would not budge: the mouse. I've integrated the Mac platform into my regular computer usage, using it for a lot of my work, while also continuing to be an avid PC user. The experiment, as I called it back then, was very much a success. About a year ago, I put all prejudices aside, cast away all of my prior experiences with the platform, and I tried a Mac for a month. ![]()
