Can pushing down on the powermate simulate a "right click" of the mouse?

also, if using a two button mouse in X, is the right click button automatically pre-configured by X? or do you choose what it does? Is the right click on a two button mouse, the same as ctrl + click with the one button?

thanks!

a two button mouse automatically has the right button configured as the control-click function.

I believe you can change this, maybe with USB Overdrive software, but I don't know.

no idea about the Powermate.
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

ahh! thanks!

So if i'm used to control+click, then I shouldn't invest in a 2 button mouse?
