I would be curious to see the stats for users still using one-button

prices on n-button mice have come down so much.

last I heard, new iMacs came with that hideously *round* 1-button mouse.
I hope Apple learned their lesson... :-)

As with browsers, most users use the mice that come with their machines. Obviously techie users, especially those who do molecular graphics, are likely to want a high-tech mouse, but the reason Apple has stuck to a one-button mouse is that they realize that two buttons mean one extra to confuse the average user with. (And most PC users have no idea what the right button is for.) The elegant but awful hockey-puck iMac mouse is long gone, and nobody is going to fit a general student Mac lab out with two-button mice at extra cost.


My guess at two-button mouse Mac users? 1%

(Not something Google would know either :-) )
