Magic Mouse Left Click Problem

I have the same problem; except it's the right click I can't get to work. It scrolls (both ways) fine, but everything else results in a "left" click. I can't "right" click. I've tried every possible combination of fingers (yes, I know you have to make sure your left finger isn't touching the mouse at all) but nothing works.

Hello PB:

The only settings are in system preferences>mouse. If they look OK, I would take the mouse to an Apple store for troubleshooting/replacement.

I had the same problem this evening. Is it possible that you had your USB or trackpad mouse buttons reversed when you switched to the Bluetooth mouse?

I normally reverse my mouse buttons (like for left handed people). My index finger naturally rests on the upper right corner of the mouse. When I try to use the normal button config, my hand and forearm fatigue in no time. Reversing the buttons allows me keep my index finger relaxed for all the normal mouse clicking, then I reach left for the "right" button.

It also discourages others from using my computer!

Anyhow... When I connected to the Magic Mouse, the buttons didn't work. I turned it off and connected the USB mouse, returned it to "right-handed" mode and switched back to the Magic Mouse, and the buttons work correctly now. I then use the Magic Mouse control panel to set Secondary click to left.

Hope that helps!
