Mac: Is it possible to have a R-Click on a mouse?

[Coldkilla]

I've been wondering for years: Is it possible to run 3D applications, with a mouse that works with mac, that supports a second mouse click function?

Just wondering thanks!

Yes of course. Just plug in any old USB mouse with a left and right click button.

I always thought Mac didn't have the "right click" option no matter what mouse you have?

mac has had right click since OSX (maybe before), and any usb mouse will work fine with it (as OnlyCOpunk said), also there was apple's "mighty mouse" which didn't have any buttons but allowed for left and right clicks based on pressure sensors.

Yeah... even Mac OS 9 had right click support! You can also set up a two finger right-click on the MacBook's touch pad.

Alrighty then. Just making sure. I had to use a mac in high school a few years ago and the only had the one button and wasn't sure you could use a right click function, as I have seen a bunch of mac laptops with only 1 button below the touchpad. Thanks for the info, I feel more comfortable now going into a college based course using macs and photoshop.

If all else fails you can always ctrl click, that works as the right click as well.
