Hi all,
We have two different wireless mice here that I have tried to use with my MacBook Pro running Lion. Neither of them give me right click functionality.
I have looked in System Preferences -> Mouse after connecting each mouse but there is no option there to enable the right mouse button.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Here's a solution. I just bought a new Logitech MX wireless mouse and found there was no 'Right-Click' in the Logitech configuration utility. As CTRL + Left-click on a mac equals a Right-click, I set up the right-hand button as 'Advanced Click'. This popped up a secondary menu which allowed me to select 'Click' plus 'upside down V'. Worked like a charm.
Thank you Soto,
this helped me. I felt like I was losing my sanity having to go back and forth between mouse and track pad.
I am indeed grateful.
Keep up the great advice.
is there perhapse firmware/driver that the mice need to have updated to work with your system? To be honest I dont use Wireless Mice but I do use a gaming mouse and it does firmware/drivers updates from time to time.
check http://www.logitech.com/en-us/398
find your mouse and check to see if there are any firmware updats or drivers
okay, try this shall we?
go into system preferences; keyboard & mouse; mouse; choose 'secondary button' from the dropdown for the right side the mouse (or the left if you prefer). This will activate the typical right-click options (file, copy, paste, etc.) |
have you gone to the logitech site for help?
is one of them an Apple mouse?
That was my next step if nothing came up here. But, as it seems to be an issue with Mac OS and not each individual mouse, I figured it would be best to try here first.
Neither are Apple mice but the Logitech mouse is sold on the Apple website.
Checked to see if there was software for the mouse on the Logitech site and it is one of those generic, driverless mice. Didn't see anything for firmware updates.
Also, as I stated before, I am pretty sure this is an issue with Mac OS as I have another wireless mouse (non-Logitech) that produces the same problem.
Please refer to my first post:
"I have looked in System Preferences -> Mouse after connecting each mouse but there is no option there to enable the right mouse button."
Right click with wireless mouse does not work. What can I do?
