Do Mac computers have an equivalent to the "right click" on PC's/Windows?

Question

I use a lot of right click shortcuts when I'm on windows/PCs. I'm trying to learn a Mac computer and I'm so frustrated that I can't "right click" to get to things..... is there another function or command I can hit instead of a right click? Or a Cmd+ _____ that I can do??

Answer 1

Just elaborating on what Llama Em said; There's a misconception that you can't right-click on a Mac and this is partly Apple's fault. Almost all USB mice sold nowadays are compatible with Macs. If you've got a single-button mouse, replace it. Even Apple have now introduced Mighty Mouse - it's a multifunctional mouse which lets you right-click.

Answer 2

on the MAC do a ctrl + click. This is the same as a right click. You can also get a 2 button mouse and it will right click.

Answer 3

Yep, get a two-button mouse and Right-Click all you want. I use a Microsoft two-button mouse with my PowerBook. It's the only piece of Microsoft product that I own! They make good mice.

Answer 4

Your best bet is to get a new mouse - all the cool kids use two-button mice on their Macs. :)
