Cuiabano76 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi all I have noticed on many YouTube videos and interviews that the most of producers use the wired apple's Mighty Mouse. Does anyone knows because it is more used ? Currently i am using the apple's Track Pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobinson Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I suspect that "the mouse is in the eye of the beholder." Personally, I use a Microsoft two-button wired optical mouse with scroll-wheel (the wheel also acts as a third button). It costs about twenty bucks. (I am brand-specific to "Microsoft" in this case, although I don't know who actually makes the thing.) Yes, in spite of Apple's persistence in selling their gear with one-button mice, just as they did in the earliest days, their operating system and their software – including Logic – is fully aware of three-button mouse and scroll-wheel conventions and will respect them if you have one. (It will even let you decide in which direction the scroll-wheel moves things.) Just find a mouse that works well in your hand, and know that your Mac will undoubtedly be able to support it.

simon.a.billington Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Well the wired Mighty Mouse is actually a 3 button mouse with support for both virticak and horizontal scrolling. Unfortunately in losing the scroll-ball you lose one button, but the plus side is the scroll ball doesn't clog up with dust forcing you to get a replacement. Just the fact that the Mighty Mouse does horizontal scrolling makes it a great companion working with timeline based apps. I think it's awesome. Just because you can't see the buttons, doesn't mean they aren't there. You can configure the mouse behaviour in the System Preferences. Tip: To Right-Click lift up the left finger. If you have two fingers on the mouse the OS interprets it as a left-click. I'm pretty sure this is for old people and people with a disability so that they too can use computers.

Ploki Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 mighty mouse or magic mouse? The mighty mouse had the scroll ball, but magic mouse has a touch surface. you can get the "middle" click via 3rd party. http://magicprefs.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon.a.billington Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 That's right, I thought there was something amiss there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
