Can you simultaneously right click and left click now?

Answer

  • Best Answer

    Clicking with two fingers placed on the surface of the mouse will only result in a left click (or right click depending on your custom settings). Magic Mouse does not support a simultaneous right and left click.

    "The Mighty Mouse does not report whether the right and left sensor is activated simultaneously. In fact, it reports a right-click only when there is no finger contact on the left side of the mouse. This means that the Mighty Mouse cannot support mouse chording, used by CAD software, games, and other applications where multiple functions are mapped to the mouse."

  • judging by the system preferences settings that list "Swipe Left/Right" as the only functionality available for two fingers the answer is no

    Unless there is a way to right+left click with one finger or it gets fixed in a software update
