Let me recommend you buy a nice wireless logitech mouse, with at least 5 buttons. I have one with L, R, Up and Down, scroll with click, and three thumb buttons. Works great.
Coon, I love my Apple multi-button mouse, the one with the little nipple scroll wheel!
I do have to scrub that little nipple every once in awhile, usually using my shirt-tail, to get the crud off it, so it will keep on with it’s tiresome little scrolling duty...
Usually after gumming it up with sticky Buffalo Chicken Wing Sauce... (weren’t we told not to mouse with sticky greasy stuff on our fingers somewhere back in the eight grade?)
The Mighty Mouse has left-click, right-click, up-down, and across-wise scrolling, and a down click on the nipple to bring up “widgets”, unless you have gummed up the works with your snacks of choice.
It also has two other buttons on each side to squish, but I haven’t found the need for those yet. Do you have any ideas, suggestions?
P.S. I tried the wireless Mighty Mouse, and loved it. But, I kept dropping it on the floor. It seemed to get stuck to me, falling off at the first opportunity.
So, finally decided it was safer to use a wired mouse, since I seem to be a bit of an elderly clutz, who keeps dropping things after I have gotten them totally gummed up with sticky things, like muffins with yummy home-made elderberry jam.
Your milage might vary, of course. But I did keep our small business thriving for the past 40 years, just with Macs, from the earliest on through the latest. And, my architect husband depended on Macs every step of the way, my sticky fingers, 4 children, and all. You have no idea how many Millions of dollars our Macs have managed, supervised, and tracked... never mind the design drawings, specifications, etc...
Macs have totally helped us be financially successful. And, they have never “gone down” in a pinch. Mac software has bailed us out of many a potential financial challenge, too.
They have never failed us, and we still are using them to keep us actively employed, in our “retirement” years. This matters, because my husband now has Parkinson’s, and can no longer physically spend as much time on the job-site as he used to, but he can still work with his mind, and his trusty iMac keeps him in touch with clients, both personal and industrial, all over!
