In my asklemmy post (here: https://lemmy.world/post/20013379) I asked if anybody could help me because the mouse just does not glide well on my mousepad, while the 10 year old gaming mouse does glide.

The answers were pretty good and something I looked into. Then, I was just like "what if…" and put regular tape on the mouse, just to test it… and… it glides!

Ever since the puck (and needing right click for some 3D modelling software - Ray Dream Studio), I’ve been using third party mice with any Apple computer I use. I had almost forgotten they even make mice.

Fairly certain a two finger click is the same as a right click on the Magic Mouse.

No. You only have left click. In the settings you can make right side = right click and left side = left click. You can’t even click left + right at the same time.

  • Click = left click
  • ctrl + click = Right click
  • seperate clicks without ctrl found in settings
  • 1 finger double tap = zoom in/out
  • 1 finger swipe up/down = scrolling
  • 1 finger swipe left/right = back/forward
  • 2 Finger swipe left/right = switch between desktops
  • 2 finger double tap = mission control

That’s about all the functions.

Totally! I got my old mouse a profile set up to navigate the UI way better than the mouse itself.
