how can you right click on a mac?

Question

how do you right click on a mac laptop?

Answer 1

To literaly right click, you will need a mouse that supports right clicking. ALMOST any "normal" USB mouse, trackpad, track ball, whatever, will work. On my Macbook Pro, I use a Logitech G5 mouse.

There are two ways to do the equivalent of a right click with a Mac laptop:
1) Hold the ctrl key and then click on the item.
2) You can turn on a "two finger" click on your Mac by going to Apple Menu->System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Place two fingers ... secondary click. This function is also equivalent to a right click.

Answer 2

Ctrl-click, and this is going to furnish you with a diverse menu in accordance to what you're clicking. you may also get a mouse with 2 or extra buttons for the Mac, btw. merely about all USB mice with 2 buttons and scroll wheel will artwork on a Mac. I placed a link right here for a trackball mouse merely to furnish you a concept.

Answer 3

Mac's rarely can right click, however, i do believe that you can. you have to buy a speciality mouse.
now that mac is in bed with intel if you have one of those a regular mouse will work. i dont know how to get it to work though

wat the heck,,,, why in the world did mac make a right click menu..... when their mouse does not have a right click button
this puzzles me

Answer 4

With a super mouse. Its a special kind of mac mouse you have to buy.
