I used to play on my PC all the time, I'm wondering how big of a pain it is to play with the 1 button mouse? Im thinking of buying the apple BT mouse, but if its too annoying to play WC3 with it, then I dont think ill get it.

Thanks for the tips

I'd probably want to stick with a multi button mouse for most games including WC3... Is there any reason you can't go with another BT mouse instead of the apple? Personally I think apple's one button mouse is quite lame and a waste of money. Their keyboards are awesome, and the quality of the mouse isn't bad, it's just the single button...

i guess it'd depend how you play - if you use the keys to select actions instead of just right-clicking (eg. hitting a then clicking to attack, frinstance) you'd be fine. i think i'd go nuts though as i'm a lazy right clicker.

Yeah, I use the standard mouse with no problem. Haven't had time to play Warcraft in a couple of weeks, unfortunately. At times of weakness I must admit I have thought about getting a two button mouse, but the feeling passes. . .
