I do agree about the two-button mouse, though. Instead of the extra button, I have to hold down a key when I click, or click and hold, or place two fingers on the track pad and then click. The Apple mighty mouse even has a second button that you click by pressing on the right side of the mouse (the actual surface of the mouse shows no button, however, and the right click action is a little unreliable).

You could go into your System Preferences and turn on the ability to use multiple finger contacts on the pad. Then you could Right Click simply by tapping two fingers on the pad... much easier. I find I miss it when forced to use Windows laptops.

Two finger scrolling is great, too.

This YouTube video explains it.

Thanks. I don’t enable the click with tap feature because I get too many false positives with it. I do have the feature enabled that lets me right-click by resting two fingers on the TP and then clicking the button.
