Moment Musicaux

May 22, 2008

Mac Mouse on a PC.

I (sort of) pounced onto my colleague’s Mac mouse and declared it mine — for now. He’s on long leave, so I conveniently borrowed it. At least I’m nicer than my CD. He took the 23" monitor in exchange of his 17" other-brand monitor. My colleagues and I were like -___-'’.

Anyway, I’m using my personal laptop which is a PC. Which poses a slight problem because there’s no right-click on Mac mouse-s (’mice’ just doesn’t sound right in this case). Or is it really?

Well, after trial and error and a stroke of genius (haw haw), I’ve figured out THE SECRET.

There IS a right click on the Mac mouse!

All you have to do is imagine that there is a right-click button and voila! The right-click menu appears!

I googled for solutions after my amazing breakthrough (ha!) and realised that some desperate souls have actually created applications for the purpose.

Not that anyone’s REALLY going to use Mac mouse on a PC, but whatever.

Cheap thrills hoo!
