How to Customize Mighty Mouse Buttons

Until the release of the Mighty Mouse, Apple's standard mice were one-click devices with few features. The Mighty Mouse changed that approach with its scroll ball, side buttons and right-click functionality. The Mighty Mouse is a useful piece of computer hardware out of the box, but it can also be customized to suit the needs of an individual user.

      To enable right-click functionality like a PC mouse, set the left main button as "Primary Button" and the right main button as "Secondary Button." For left-handed users, these settings can be reversed to make using the Mighty Mouse more natural.
