FWIW, if you think of it as "secondary click" (which is, by the way, what Microsoft calls it) and dispose of the idea that you need two buttons arranged physically to the left and right of each other, the concept makes more sense. "If I want to click, I click with my thumb; if I want to do a special (secondary) click, I click with my thumb while I rest my fingers on the trackpad". Doing it is more natural than writing (or reading) it. I reckon I spend fewer calories doing a secondary-click on an Apple trackpad than I do on PC trackpads or mice. My fingers are already right there, I hardly move at all, whereas I move more with a mouse. This is probably a quirk of how I use mice and trackpads though, so ymmv. I have always preferred trackpads to mice, except on those rare times I play Portal or other similar games. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm |
