The apple trackpads support multi-finger clicks and swipes, though of course the chording is different (you can’t simply press the “middle” button by itself).

- jonhohle 3y agoSince OP was talking about mice, I wanted to differentiate from trackpads. Maybe people don’t use mice anymore and I’m just out of the loop (though my 12yo uses a mouse with his iPad) or maybe OP is thinking of pre-scrollwheel three button mice.
- linguae 3y agoI've faced similar issues when trying Plan 9, which assumes a three-button mouse and makes heavy use of mouse chording. I had difficulties using my normal mouse wheel USB mice. I ended up purchasing some old Sun USB three-button mice for experimenting with Plan 9.

- lproven 3y agoNot by default, they don't. I recently got a Macbook from work, an M1 running the latest macOS, and there is no middle-click. There is no built-in function to enable it, either. This being the Mac world, there's a well-known commercial tool to provide it: https://middleclick.app/ https://middleclick.app/ I found a FOSS equivalent: https://github.com/artginzburg/MiddleClick-Ventura https://github.com/artginzburg/MiddleClick-Ventura
