Let’s face it: the Mac mouse is beautiful and slick, but it can’t do much. The latest Magic Mouse, out of the box, is a smooth surface that may be used to click, swipe, andscroll your way through your iMac. If you want to set it up to copy and paste or have more options, you’ll need to re-program your iMac to set up awkward combinations of double-clicking or swirly swiping. Otherwise, you’re forced to use keyboard combinations to perform a right-click like in Windows. How does Apple neglect to put a right-click button?
Instead of all the odd girations with your Mac mouse, you can switch to a Windows mouse for your mac. The Windows mouse has all the buttons you’ll need.
Here’s how you set up the Windows mouse on your Mac:
- While the Mac is turned off, connect it to your Mac.
- Turn your Mac on.
- Go to System preferences->expose and spaces->under dashboard, the second drop-down shows “Mouse button 3” and “Mouse button 4” so you can configure for right-clicking or other options for your buttons.
A recommended mouse for the Mac is Microsoft’s bluetooth mouse for the Mac. It may be used on the Mac for the Windows or Mac side. That’s it. The tech support setup on this is simple. You shouldn’t need a Mac iMac expert for this one.
