I’m just opposed to their brand ethos. They always complicate things in the name of simplicity.
apple mice have 1 button to click, and that this decision was made (in the 80s) because they thought 2 button mice would confuse the average user.
… and now apple users command + click all the time, like that isn’t more complicated.
That’s not why I hate apple, but it is why I hate apple. They perpetually put the cart before the horse.
“We stopped including a charger in the box to help the environment”
Actually this means more boxes are being created in total and this is worse for the environment. 🤦♂️
Edit: God you apple stans are annoying af. I guess y’all are just an extension of their obnoxious ethos lol.
Apple Mice have had right click for 14 years, and their trackpads have used two finger click in its place far longer than that. And before that, any two button mouse worked just fine in OS X from 2001 on (earlier if you ran the beta of OS X). So your information is anywhere from two decades to one and a half decades out of date. Well done.
Someone’s mad.
So what you’re saying is they put the cart before the horse and eventually succumbed to the market pressure of their mistakes.
Got it.
Oh look, they did it again.
What’s really sad is that you’re out here promoting a trillion dollar company for free. Well done.
Hello projection my old friend…
No, just responding to their cheeky “well done” comment.
Just because you say someone is projecting doesn’t make it true.
I like how you Apple stans keep proving my point about the brand’s borderline toxic ethos.
Acting like someone is a corporate shill just because they don’t agree with you reeks of butthurt
Out here calling people names but anyone that doesn’t agree with you are the toxic ones, lol
butthurt? About… what?
Dude… go outside.
You seem to be upset that this isn’t an echo chamber. And yes, I’ll be sure to touch some grass as soon as I clock out.
Now who’s projecting?
I am in no way upset, my guy. It’s clear you are, though.
Cheers.
🙄
I agree with you and the OP of this thread. I don’t want to support a company with a walled garden approach and they over complicate things to be unique
Speaking of annoying af. Look at you, you’re the same. You’re not anti-apple, you’re just pro-anti.
Apple devices have had right click for a while now. It’s a two finger press.
His point is that they were 2 decades late to the party.
His point is wrong.
Wrong how? The Microsoft mouse was released in 1983 with 2 buttons. The first time Macs had a second mouse button was with OSX which was released in 2001.
Macs have always supported right mouse clicks. They’re just unnecessary in most cases. On top of that, no one Cmd+clicks because there aren’t anymore 1-button mice since the new mice are multitouch surfaces.
So, in other words, he’s wrong for multiple reasons.
I love when people are confidently wrong.
Mac’s have not “always supported right mouse clicks.” https://www.wired.com/2000/10/eek-a-two-button-mac-mouse/
I also love when people are confidently wrong. OS8 supported 2-button mice, along with OS9, and OSX. You’re confusing the fact that Apple’s mice didn’t have 2 buttons with whether or not any 2-button mice worked. I know because I owned one. On top of that, you can still, to this day, emulate OS8 and OS9 and use the “secondary” click.
So are you going to admit you were wrong or are you going to gaslight me and tell me I didn’t use a two-button mouse more than 2 decades ago?

“Apple supports multi-button mice. Right out of the box. Furthermore, this is not a ‘new feature’ of OS X. Support for contextual menus (the primary use for the two button mouse) have been around since OS 8.6, which is now more than seven years old. Let me repeat, Apple supports multi-button mice.”
After a deep dive of research into ADB and reading about the extended mouse protocol, i relent that yes Apple did support multiple mouse buttons for a long time.
However, also seeing that Apple’s own first party multi-button mouse that supported right clicking only came out in 2005… your point is just like saying that old cars with 8-track playes supports Spotify cause i have my phone auxed into a converter.
So, factually, you’re correct. But his point still stands.
