Yes, the original Mac had invisible UI: the double click. It's an undiscoverable operation that people had to be taught, and invented so that Jobs could squeeze two operations onto one button because one button looked cleaner.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoWere two button mice even around when the original Mac was introduced? It might not have been due to aesthetics.

- cardiffspaceman 7y agoIn 1983 the best number of buttons was not clearly established. PCs (the few that had mice) were tending to two according to the reference, while workstations were tending to three. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_button#Number_of_buttons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_button#Number_of_buttons
- dan-robertson 7y agoI think some early mice had one button. Other early mice had two or three buttons (that would be chorded for different operations)
