I remember using a mouse like that once. Kept accidentally clicking random stuff because I'm so used to resting my hand on the mouse. And that open all windows thing they have it pretty sweet.
It has a "show desktop" button: Exposé can be used to show desktop as well as do a number of other useful things. I never use the Apple brand mice, though. They are difficult to use and any standard USB mouse works just as well as on a Windows machine.
And the scroll ball can go in any direction, not just up and down. When it works that is. I love my macs and this mouse. But the scroll ball is a pain in the ass to clean and never worked properly for me. Apart from that I like the mouse.
I hate it. Also, the older macintosh mouse models did NOT have a right click. Or scroll ball. Or side buttons. Or any useful-ness whatsoever.
They do have right click but on the really old models, you needa actually click for awhile for the options to come up.
so... that would make it a double click that you need to do to bring up the right-click menu? With the one-button mouses?
I hate the mac mouse, and I hate the mac keyboard. The single body nature of the mouse makes me accidentally click the wrong stuff, and it has no ergonomics. The keyboard also has no ergonomics and the **** button keys are too mushy.
I never liked the fact that there's not much of a task bar. The best way to go, IMO, is go Windows, but get some addons that have the best Mac features. RocketDock=Win
@Darktemplar_L, right click is enabled and normal by default on any non-Apple mouse, which most people use. The Mighty Mouse click features can also be modified in the System Preferences to enable right-click. How is the Dock not sufficient for your taskbar needs? It can even display more applications clearly than the taskbar, which gets crowded very quickly.
It doesn't have the little minicons that Windows does, afaik. Like the behind the scenes programs Anyways, my computer isn't even really recognizable as Windows anymore
If you mean this sort of thing... It's right up in the top right corner. These programs are (from left to right) an internet connection indicator, a virus scanner, a display preference menu, Time Machine backups, Bluetooth, Wireless (with duration), Region settings, volume control, current time, Spotlight search tool. If you meant the small icons by Start that can be used to access the desktop/firefox/whatever, those closely resemble the Dock as well. If you didn't mean either of those things, then I dunno.
