Does Apple make a mouse with 2 buttons on it? I like the stock mouse, but hitting the CTRL key and clicking to the a menu on an item is getting old. I bought a generic optical mouse with two buttons, but the sensor is not as sensitive as I would like, it seems to skip a lot.

Let me know what Mac users use!

But if I'm not mistaken, I know the Kensington Studio Mouse has two buttons and is mac compatible

I think apple's mice are modern looking and useful. I am sure they sell two button mice, but I know not where to get them.....

Any USB mouse should work with a Mac, mostly with Mac OS X. If the mouse has any additional buttons or uses a non-standard scroll wheel configuration, then you will need to find drivers for it.

I've used a lot of Microsoft and Logitech USB mice and trackballs on the Macs at work and they all seem to do okay. Mac OS X has native scroll wheel support for at least Microsoft and Logitech mice... dunno about other brands.

The pill/foot pedal mouse is nice when it comes to looks... at least it's better than the hockey puck mouse :D

BTW Archon... every time I look at your avatar, I just start chuckling :) Maybe because it probably would fit my personality too.
