He didn't approve of a two button mouse.
- coldtea 5y agoSo? He was right. From usability statistics I've seen, most regular users, even today, don't right click. Besides, Macs had optionally multi-button mice for ages, including under Jobs.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoCan you provide source for this usability statistics?
- slver 5y agoFrom my experience, most people never fully figure out when you left-click and when you right-click. So he was right. I could personally take a 20 button mouse, but we should be careful not to design mass market devices after our own nerd desires.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoIME most people I've known use the right button and wheel often. Gamers were and are a large cohort.
- slver 5y agoEveryone understands the wheel. But right-click, less so. Gamers are a special case. They play a game a lot, and are used to controllers with a dozen buttons, each having a specific function in the game. General office workers are another story entirely.
