    "does anyone know why Apple stics with one button mouses anymore?"

    Tradition.

    You've been able to use two buttons for years and years and years now. Seriously!

      As an mac user, the one button mouse looks great, works fine, but a two button mouse with scroll wheel is definatly superior. why have we stuck with it? only jobs knows.

      A single button trackpad is fine, since the control key is handy enough not to be a problem, but on a desktop computer with a keyboard, give us a two buttom mouse.

        One button mouses don't "work fine". They are excrutiating to use. Plus I find myself stroking the button, trying to use the scroll wheel

          i think that is the one major weakness of the single button design a lack of a scroll whell, of course i'm addicted to them so any mouse that doesn't have them today i think is a bad design. at least the new one button mice are not round(what were they smoking?)

            Plus the second mouse button is a LOT easier than having to hold the button down. Plus the things just feel funny.

              lol, ever tried the hockey puck mouse? that felt really odd, kinda weird too, like trying to erase the mousepad with the mouse(felt like a really big round eraser).

              still i wish apple would make multi-button mice standard on the platform, but i doubt if they ever will.

                Oh god, I hate those (the hockey pucks). They are the spawn of satan.

                  Apple's mice can't even come close to competing with the MS Intellimouse Explorer 4.0.

                  5 buttons, vertical scrollwheel and horiztonal scroll (tilt), stylish, and VERY comfortable.


                  Even comes in a black leather variation.

                    I prefer logitech mice, but that's just my preference. I haven't used a microsoft mouse since well before optical mice came into fashion, even before scroll wheels so i'm not up to how well they are now, but the logitech mice are nice as well.

                      god, that's ugly. give me the intellimouse optical any day.

                      now if the intellimouse optical had tilt, it'd be nice, but not if they made it as ugly as the one above.

                        The new wireless intellimouse opticals have tilt (4 colors)



                        And the other Intellimouse Explorer colors:

                            question is how does leather feel on your hand day in and day out for a long time? seems to me it whould get old and possibly painful, i'll sitck with the plastic cases.

                            I agree middle one looks the best, btw.

                              Microsoft mouses kick Apple mouse ass.

                              That one-button thing was designed in the pits of Hell itself.

                                This is a PowerMac G5 thread that has turned into mouse thread. How quiet can things get around here?

                                "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
                                For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
