I do, also because its built into my powerbook, every once in a while I will try to use the second button that does not exist, but I like the one button style. When I am on pc's I get pissed off when crtl click does not work.

I use a single button mouse, I find it weird to go back to a mouse with 2 now! I find myself ctrl + right clicking.

One click mouse all the way for me! :cool: Everytime, I need to plug in the usb two button mouse for emergencies, it feels too foreign to me now. I can't stand the two button mouse now. Jeez, what's wrong with me.

just wondering how many of you 1 button "Apple" mouse people would switch ta a 2 or more button mouse if "Apple" made one? (just wondering if people use um just because they are "apple" branded not because they are more efficient or easyer ta use?)

sorry i dont have one. use a trackball and hope ta never own a mouse again.

My dad actually switched to trackballs back a few years ago because of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome... It has really helped him alot. Evidentally sitting at a desk on a computer for 20 years can be bad for your joints... Who knew?

Of course it drives me nuts every time I sit down at his computer... of course it is a PC so it drives me nuts just to look at the ugly thing in the first place. :black:

Thats the one, thanks. Has anyone ordered from this site? Are they any good?
I use the DVForge mouse. I like it just fine. They also have really fast shipping. It is a little pricey, but it was worth it for me...I am a little anal about using a mouse that doesn't match...hehe, stupid I know, but either way it is a good mouse. :black:

That's the same one my Dad uses... there was an older version with a much larger ball that he liked better. You would actually click that one with your thumb and move it with your fingers... But logitech discontinued it.

I actually kinda liked that one.

I use that one (Actually the slightly older Trackman Marble with the RED ball and White body). Use it on the Mini and G4 Sawtooth. Love it.

I can use either the stock Mac mouse with CTRL/Click or a multi button. Both work fine for me. I prefer the control that the Trackman Marble gives me though. I am so used to it in Photoshop and other programs, It's hard for me to use anything else. I can though if I have to. My older Macs all have one button apple mice on them.

If a person can use keyboard shortcuts, I don't see what the big deal with CTRL/Click is.

sarahsboy18, I guess I am built different. I work better with the newer Logitech with the ball under the thumb and not the older with the larger ball under the fingers. I can almost do no wrong on the newer Trackman.
