Apple Mouse

[hollie1586]

can the apple mouse be used with normal pc's and not just apple computers??

[cossieboy]

im not sure, it may be because an apple keyboard workswith a pc but why would you want an apple mouse?

[ChuckFickens]

they can, XP will install the drivers automatically and away you go, but the older style apple mice only have one button so they are virtually unusable with a normal PC (no right click)

No, The Apple mouse does not have a left and right button, just a single one.

It will work.

Some of the older Apple mice just have a single button. This'll appear as left click. Since right click is so important under Windows, it's pretty useless.

Apple's Mighty Mouse (shipped for past few years will all iMacs) does have two buttons on it, and can be used as a two button mouse under Windows.

(But the Mighty Mouse is the most awful mouse ever made and no-one should use it, in my opinion.)

[ChuckFickens]

oh no, I disagree fo3nix.

the horrible round mouse supplied with macs for a little while was by far the worst mouse ever :)

[Gromit]

Got to agree with ChuckFickens, the round mouse with the first generation iMacs ten years ago was truely horrible to use.

cossieboy - the reason i want an apple mouse is because i have a white pc with white keyboard, mouse etc and my mum doesnt want anything else but white lol

[markysngc]

may I suggest http://tinyurl.com/67orfl then... won't get a much better mouse for the price, and it's white

I agree the burger-style mice were also junk.

But I still see the Mighty Mouse as worse, because it purports to be a two-button mouse, when its functionality is totally flawed. At least the burger mouse just did what it said.

:P
