WHY DO YOU HAVE ALL CAPS ON? DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT THAT IS VERY ANNOYING?
And to answer your question, cntrl click should give you a right click. Some games will let you adjust the settings to what you want.

Did you check the WOW options and see if you can change the keyboard commands?

Go to Compusa and buy a $20 Macally Opical mouse with 2 buttons. I wish Apple would just concede and start making 2 button mice with scroll wheels. GIVE UP APPLE, YOU LOST THIS ONE!

Good suggestion Ioncable, I was going to suggest the same thing - buy a 2, 3 or multi-button optical mouse of your choice and scrap the Apple mouse. If you're a gamer, especially a FPS gamer, you can't live with a multi-button mouse.

Some games deault to something other than the standard Ctrl-click, but some other modifier like Shift, Option, or Command should do it. Or a custom-defined keystroke, as others have said.
(I like to be able to play a quick game of UT2004 on my PowerBook without ANY mouse. So I'm used to my pinky on left-shift for alt-fire. It works well once you're used to it.)

Default for WoW is command click for right click I believe.

On the topic of two button mice: I picked up a Kensinton Expert Mouse and am very happy with it for gaming. With four programable buttons, you can pretty much cover your bases.
Only caveat: I haven't done much in the way of FPS stuff on my Mac, so I'm not sure how well it works for that.

I love my Nostromo n52 by Belkin and it's perfect for FPS stuff. Nicely compliments my one button Apple Pro Mouse.

What's the form of cursor control on that beast? Optical mouse on bottom or trackball on front? Must admit... it looks pretty sweet!

You can use the thumb pad to control the cursor, but it's choppy. The Nostromo is really designed to be used in combination with a mouse.

Like Q said... You still need to use the mouse, you just don't need a multi button one if your using the n52.
It is "sweet"!  Belkin site has them out of stock for $49, CompUSA selling them for $39.

How about the "spacebar" on that thing? Can you jump with your thumb, the way many people are used to with a keyboard? Can your thumb rest on the jump-button naturally while your fingers are resting on the movement buttons?
The pictures make it look like there's no good thumb-jump control in easy reach. I haven't run into one in a store to try.
I do like my Saitek GM-2 left-hand pad, but the buttons take too much force. And this Nostromo's layout looks better too.

You'll probably be better off using one of the top right buttons with your finger as a jump. The thumb button is a bit akward to reach if your using your directional cotroller at the same time.
I mostly play Raven Shield and Ghost Recon with it and couldn't do without it now.

Got it. I'll keep waiting
I need to move AND jump at once. Good old WASD-Space.
