CoolTechZone On Apple’s 2-Button Mouse

Quote from the article:

“There are rumors spreading around that suggest Apple plans to reveal a two-button mouse to Macintosh users sometime soon. It’s about time Apple finally made this idea a reality and realize the importance of a two-button mouse for converting Windows users. The first problem Windows users face when switching to Macintosh is that the inherent limitations of a single-button mouse quite literally drives them insane. While numerous (excluding early Mac adopters) users have complained about this issue, Apple seemed to be holding steadfast and brutally declined to listen to anything Windows users had to say; at least that’s what many concluded from Apple’s lack of response. Yes, we are aware of the fact that those with the unresisting desire for two-buttons can opt for third party manufacturers such as Logitech to fulfill their needs, but quite frankly, if you are purchasing a system it needs to be user friendly. You shouldn’t have to worry about a peripheral as mediocre (when compared to the importance of the rest of the components) as a mouse. Besides, it’s a waste of financial resources to invest in a matching Mac keyboard/mice duo and then replace it with something that doesn’t match before even using it. “

Apple’s removable MacBook mouse may be its weirdest idea yet

Apple has experimented with various different keyboard and mouse ideas, and it hasn’t always got them right – just look at the butterfly keyboard and the “hockey puck” mouse. Despite all that, the company is apparently thinking of an even more outlandish idea that could come to future MacBooks.

As detailed in a recently granted patent, Apple is working on a MacBook keyboard that contains a removable key. This key, the patent suggests, could be used as an extremely small mouse that would be potentially no larger than the Shift key. It’s a pretty wacky idea, even compared to Apple’s previous design stumbles.
