It's true. mass driver right-click thing is bad for us macusers. Not only is the Mighty Mouse not capable of left- and right- clicking simultaneously (I have to go back to the dark old days of alt fire on a key) but in fact, when I bind +button5 to ALT and hold that, clicking to fire doesn't work. So until recently, when I got my shitty Logitech thing that only works on white surfaces (we use a decaying sheet of A4), I've been totally unable to zoom with the MD on SVN servers. Although, any time I do, it only gets me killed.


My mighty mouse lasted all of 3 1/2 minutes in my intel mac before I switched it out for the two button logitech I'd been using w/ my prior mac (which in turn scored the MM).  The Mighty Mouse is the second worst mouse I've ever used.  If I hold the mouse at any angle other than "missionary" it thinks I'm squeezing the sides or arbitrarily decides I'm rightclicking even when the only finger up that end of the mouse is clearly on the lefthandside.  Poor work, I can't believe they're still packaging it with their machines.

$20 will pick you up a reasonable gaming mouse, your fingers will love you forever =]

BUMP

Ok, since I started this topic, the only developers I have seen post anywhere are Norfenstien and Dasprid. If the other devs aren't feeling to social, can either of you tell us that they are okay?

/me asks for verification that someone is actually working on it. A simple "Yes, we are indeed working on it" would be nice. Maybe Norf's exams are over now...
By the way, overflow, I know you are on right now...

...Mighty Mouse....


Has anybody actually gotten Mighty Mouse's little trackball to work in a sensible way with Q3 on MacOSX?
For example to use as alternative left/right strafing + forward backwards move? Given a high enough sensitivity I can imagine for it to make sense. I am not a mac user myself, and under windows that little trackball unfortunately is quite useless.
