Following a series of "accidents" and complaints filed by the US public Apple are forced to make a slight alteration to their new mouse design.
Okay, you're going to love this:
Apple, what the fuck is wrong with having two seperate buttons? I bet you can't do a click 'em both at the same time either - which is fairly important in some CAD apps.macteens wrote:Right-clicking may be a little tedious compared to other mice. Since it figures which area you're clicking by using a sensor to determine where you're finger is placed, you can't right-click if your left finger is resting on the left side of the mouse. You have to lift your left finger up to click, so the device knows for sure which area you're applying pressure to.

Now that's just stupid. I imagined there was a rocker in the front-middle of the mouse and the whole body of the mouse tilts left or right to push down on the relevent micro switch. But it sounds much more complicated and stupidJinxx wrote:Okay, you're going to love this:Apple, what the fuck is wrong with having two seperate buttons?

They should have done the rocker idea for sure, then implanted a touchpad like the powerbooks have - so you can do the two finger scroll trick too (which is very good). That would have also meant the damn mouse didn't have a little clitoris sticking out if it.
As for the squeeze... ugh.
Oh and this should tickle you, by default the software makes both left and right click do a left click... WHY?! It doesn't do that for any other more-than-one-button mouse...
