And they still put the port on the bottom where you can't charge and use it at the same time. Garbage.

It's garbage to begin with. You can't right click with both fingers resting on the mouse. Shit design through and through, it's equally functional right side up or upside down.

I had a first gen Magic Mouse and you could definitely add right click to it.

Not without lifting your fingers off the mouse every time.

Look....it's a shit mouse, but all you had to do is press on the right-front corner for right click after you configured it to do so.

I hated the thing and would never get one again, but if you're going to criticize it, at least point out things that are actually a problem.

Nope. If your other finger is still resting on the mouse, it fucks up and can't tell the difference between left and right click. It's a 50/50 gamble unless you lift your fingers off beforehand.

Yes, I did use the mouse before, and I was wondering why the fuck the thing kept right clicking when I left clicked and left clicking when I right clicked. Only after googling did it reveal that it misinterprets shit if both fingers are resting on the mouse.

What kind of fucking mouse requires googling to click?
