First go to system preferences and click on mouse. With the options to choose how to use the different sides of the mouse, I made the right side of the mouse the secondary button.
After that setting, to right click you click on the top right hand side of the mouse and it becomes the right click.- Answered by Larry E

Apple Wired Mouse scrolls in one direction only
Using the wired mouse with Apple aluminum wired keyboard and iMac 2009, OS 10.6.6.
When I use the scrolling button on top of the mouse it works fine for scrolling DOWN, but not at all for scrolling UP. I has worked fine for a couple of years.- Asked by Edward G from Cambridge

It's dirty and needs a good cleaning. I know because I just finished doing this due to the exact same problem. Things you'll need: rubbing alcohol pads, cloth napkin or something similar and a straight pin or similar small, rigid instrument. Roll the ball around on the alcohol pad for a bit to loosen up all the gunk. Turn it upside down and roll it around on the napkin. Look at it a lot to see if there are particulates you can pick off. After you've done these two steps over and over, it still might not work. That's when you jam the straight pin in between the plastic housing and the roller ball. Dig around in there and pull out even more gunk. Repeat the alcohol pad and napkin thing. Just keep doing these things until it works. It took me about 20 minutes of cussing and cringing, but it finally has 360 degrees of scrolling again.

Best Answer
It's down to preference, you can get gaming mice mats that differ in texture. For example; One side of the mouse mat is smooth allowing the mouse the glide along the mat effortlessly
Where as the other side, being the rougher side is there for precision.
The mouse mat I'm referring to is the eXactMat by Razer- Answered by Dominic G from Fleetwood

Best Answer
Yes, you can simply plug it into the USB port. There is however, a problem with the length of the cord for right handed people. The USB ports on the Macbook Pro are on the left side, and the cord is not long enough to reach the other side and be usable.

The wired mouse does not come with a longer cord, but if you have the wired keyboard, there are USB ports on either side of it, which allows you to have the mouse connected to the computer from a greater distance.

With my wired mouse I could squeeze & tap to see icons of open applications. How is this done with the Magic Mouse?
