Hello,



anyone with the mighty mouse. Have you had any problems with the right-click (left if you're lefty) not working all the time? when this problem happens after a few tried i end up just using ctrl-click...



is it a known problem? and is there a fix for it?



thanks...

    you have to make sure you're not touching the left side at all, and you have to click pretty close to the "scroll-ball".



    You'll get used to it.

    Wow.. that's soooo much more elegant than just having two damn buttons.



    I really do love my Mac, but when they pull this form-over-function crap I have to wonder why. Well, one less Mighty Mouse sale I suppose.

    The coin has two sides. For normal mac users, this is a one button mouse with a really good scroll-wheel. For advanced users, it can also be a two , three or four button mouse.



    But it does take some time getting used to it.

    I can have both fingers poised on the right and left click buttons and it clicks with no problems what so ever. You just have to make sure your not clicking too far down on the mouse, (e.g. close your you).

    Indeed, I had the same problem-- suddenly finding myself with nothing happening and assuming the Mouse was fouled up. Instead it was my own damn fingers! Have to teach them a lesson...
