Do you see a wheel on your mac mouse? No? Good.

Yes, you can. Get a USB mouse with a scroll wheel (and right click button), compatible with Mac OS X, and walah! I think.

Yes;

Click on a scrollbar. Drag the scrollbar in a direction.

You are now scrolling using your sexy one buttoned mouse.

Thus ends the lesson.

lol i dont want to buy a new mouse, this mouse is so comfortable and the keyboard is the best ive ever used aswell, i can live without a scroll wheel :)

oh and thanks for editing the title :D

in that case your topic is completely pointless?

#192307

no it wasnt pointless, i was just wondering if it was possible :)

Is there a way to hold like shift or something and move the mouse down to scroll?

I find the best thing to do, if you have bluetooth in your mac, is to buy a logitech MX900. It works without a base station and the extra buttons can be assigned to expose.

#193301

who wants an apple mouse when they look as kewl as a MacMice "The Mouse"? its optical, cheaper than an apple mouse, and i think they work on pcs. if they do i am NO DOUBT BUYING ONE!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: i know that the apple mouse works on pcs and is optical but why have one button when you can have 3?

esXXI, what do you have against scroll wheels? And why would it bother you if someone else used one? xfodder was just asking if scroll wheel-equipped mice worked on a Mac. Instead of answering his question, you basically told him he shouldn't even be thinkng about doing such a thing.

Do you feel it was a mistake for the scroll wheel to be invented? Do you feel they offer no convenience/efficiency/productivity advantages? Arguably, they don't look as cool as the Mac's one-button optical mouse, but what do you spend more time looking at: your mouse or your screen?

I don't understand why you seem to, er, dislike them so strongly.
