Introduction
One of the most common questions we get asked is how to right click on an Apple mouse. While Apple mice don’t have dedicated right and left click buttons like traditional mice, it’s still very easy to right click. In this article, we’ll show you a few different ways to right click on an Apple mouse.
Apple Mouse Method #1:
The first way to right click on an Apple mouse is to press the “Control” key while clicking. This works because the “Control” key is considered a secondary click by default in macOS. To do this, simply press down on the “Control” key with your left hand and then click the mouse button with your index finger.
Apple Mouse Method #2:
Another way to right click on an Apple mouse is to enable secondary clicking in System Preferences. This will add a dedicated right-click button to your mouse, making it behave more like a traditionalmouse. To do this, go to System Preferences > Mouse and then check the box next to “Secondary Click.”
Apple Mouse Method #3:
If you’re using an Apple Magic Mouse, you can enable secondary clicking by double tapping with two fingers. This will add a dedicated right-click button to your mouse, making it behave more like a traditionalmouse. To do this, go to System Preferences > Mouse and then check the box next to “Enable Secondary Click.”
