Using a PC mouse on a Macbook?

I really miss the "right click" function from my Windows mouse. Would it be possible to connect a pc mouse to my Macbook and use the right click function?

Thanks

Yes, right click is part of mac osx. you could also put 2 fingers on the track pad and click to get a right click. If you want an external mouse that has right click but want to keep apple styling, you can grab a mighty mouse.

I use my old microsoft wheel mouse optical and it works just fine.

Yep. I'm using my old Intellimouse from my PC days and it works flawlessly. I think any USB mouse will work with OSX, am I right?

On a macbook just lightly tap two fingers on the trackpad

Might need to tick that option in system prefs mind.

or if all else fails use ctrl+click

pretty much. though it won't hurt to go to the manufacturers site and d/l the mac drivers for your thingie.

I use a Logitech trackerball and the right click works on it also.

There are three different ways to Right Click on your MB.

1) Connect your old PC mouse.
2) Ctrl + Click
3) Two-finger right-click ( Make sure to enable the "tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click" in Trackpad Preferences)
