The Button That Wasn’t
Alas the fate of the one-button mouse in today’s multibutton world. Who has time for intuitive, elegant design when there is so much clicking to do? Thanks to a smooth top shell with touch-sensitive technology beneath, Mighty Mouse allows you to right click without a right button. Capacitive sensors under Mighty Mouse’s seamless top shell detect where your fingers are and predict your clicking intentions, so you don’t need two buttons — just two fingers. Click on the left side to use Mighty Mouse in its simplest, single-button form. Click on the right to access contextual menus within applications and edit, copy, label or download from your mouse. It’s simple sleight of hand.


that doesnt work for me, i tried clicking the right part in all ways possible, doesnt work, any suggestions ?

Have you set the right side of the mouse to "Secondary Button" in System Preferences (Keyboard & Mouse)? By default OS X treats a Mighty Mouse as a single-button mouse and will only recognize right-clicks if you set it to do so.
