Hello,

I started playing WOW at the beginning of August (my first ever game - I'm finally learning how to auto run and not get stuck in corners) on the pc and have since installed it on my old imac and my new one. The new one came with the default Apple mouse which as I discovered the other night I can't right/left click on like my pc mouse (hence, I can't attack). What would you recommend I get for a mouse that has right/left scroll button?
The new Mighty Mouse? A logitech one? I'm not a big time gamer so I don't think I need or would even know how to use a fancy mouse especially made for gaming but I sure would like to be able to right click and attack.
TIA,
Sara

I'm no gamer but you could do well with any Logitech two button mouse with a scroll wheel. Many gamers in here use some really advanced wireless mice.

Good luck in your search, glad to be of service.


Edit: Just came across this one on MacNN's cover story page.

IOGEAR's 5 button mouse

Thanks for the suggestions BUT the first mouse you put on your post doesn't work on Mac's and the second one - which is a 5 button mouse works as a two button mouse on Macs.

I'm still doing my research on these.
