Apple have finally released a 2 button mouse
Apple have finally released a mouse that has more than one button. But they could not just create any normal two button mouse, no that would just be easy. What they have created is the Mighty Mouse that takes the standard one button mouse and adds a few interesting things. This includes a pointer on top that allows you to scroll in all directions like the trackpoints you find in the middle of laptop keyboards. The side holders that have been present on the earlier one button mice is now squeezable and acts as a button. But you ask where are the two buttons, well they inferred based on the pressure applied to two sensors at the front of the mouse. So think of the one button mouse that uses pressure to determine which button is being pressed. Pretty funky idea, next is to go to my nearest mac store and try one.
