I can’t right click on them. I guess you have to raise up your fingers from the left side? I just found that to be a dealbreaker. I’ve had to use them for work and I turn them into one-button mice with scrolling. The scrolling is excellent, I like low-profile mice, and I don’t mind the charger port location. But I need to right click!

Yes, you have to consciously lift the finger(s) from the left side and only touch the right side when right clicking. Not hard to get used to, but there's definitely some friction if you're coming from a normal mouse.

Magic mouse only has only one button, like all Apple mice. It relies on touch detection to fake multiple button support.

This basically makes their mice unusable for certain things like gaming. I had to use their mouse for a while and I opted to bind right click to a keyboard button because what do you know, most games bind aim and shoot to right and left click.

Apple has never prioritized gaming on their devices.

There was once a time when Halo was a first party release pitched at MacWorld.

I wonder if that's the old magic mouse. I don't think I do that with the newer one but I remember something like that with the original.

No, that's both versions of the Magic Mouse. I have the most current version (in my hand right now), and if you want to right-click, you definitely need to lift your finger from the left side.

Oh wow you're right. I didn't even notice I do it. Now it's going to bother me.

That’s so weird. I love my Magic Mouse for everything except gaming, and I right-click all day long without even thinking about it.

I wonder what we do differently?

Ctrl+click. I find it more intuitive than right clicking personally.

It's a surprisingly okay daily driver mouse if you actually don't use the mouse that much, like if you're writing code or staring at code most of the time. I daily drove it for 3 years despite the terrible ergonomics, because I consider macOS almost unusable without the gestures (horizontal scroll, zoom, mission control, swiping between fullscreen apps). A few weeks ago I snapped and got the Magic Trackpad instead, which is a bit pricey (that's why I delayed the purchase), but IMO lovely to use.

I like the multitouch aspect, but I hate how tiny and flat it is for ergonomic reasons. It's also not comfortable to raise your fingers up and pull them back to draw on the surface of a mouse.
