Rumour: Updated Airports, Two-Button Mouse! - Page 2

To tell you the truth, i think there are still a few people who want one button mouses (i'm not one of them).

I was reading a review @ the apple store and someone was mentioning how they would never buy a two button mouse

Heh.. that's funny. Truthfully, I don't care if Apple continues to make a one-button mouse. I just want the option to select a two-button (with scroll) when I build-to-order my Mac.

whats the loyalty to a single click mouse? yadyadyada... that was the original or whatever, but hey, most gizmos in our lives have evolved, this seems like an impractical one to hold on to. BTW, you can still use your 2,3...10 button mouse like a one button mouse.

Well hell froze over. Apple's doing the unthinkable making a two button mouse. It's going look pretty sweet too. The main reason for doing this is because they want to really take back the windows market too. Well anyway just wanted to see what other mac people thought about this too.

Peace and remember clean underwear are always good,

(I'm sure there are people out there actually buying Apple mice, but if we had statistics about this, I'm sure you'll agree people'd use better mice.)

Yeah, I was considering a Bluetooth mouse from Apple, for my Powerbook.
Then I realised it was one button, that may please some.
But, no offense, that is kind of stupid in my situation. I mainly want a mouse because I don't like using ctrl + click. Getting the Apple mouse wouldn't be the cleverest thing to do.

Yeah, to be honest, it's actually the major issue I have against purchasing an Apple notebook (that, and limited finances =). I rarely use the notebook in circumstances where a desktop mouse is feasible, and having to deal with the one-button mouse would drive me insane. (I'm not just used to the multi-button mice/trackpads - I tried to force myself to use the stock 1-button for nearly a year on my desktops, but eventually just couldn't take it anymore)

In the end, I'd let my computing needs to drive whether or not I pick up a 'book, but jeeze, I'd almost want to not do it just out of spite...
