If I use a PC mouse on a mac, can I use right-click for the "squeeze" button?

Question

The apple mouse has buttons on the sides to squeeze to make it show multiple windows. If I use a pc mouse on a mac, will right-click do the same thing that the squeeze buttons did?

Answer 1

Form past experience i would say that it probably wouldn't, however if you have a fairly new usb mouse laying around it wouldn't hurt to give it a try the most it would do is bring up an error box saying it doesn't recognize the item. I have a mac that i bought about 3 years ago and normal PC mice do not work on it, but i am not to say that they have not changed the the devices that are supported. If you are planning on buying a new mouse I would consult a person at a store such as best buy.
