Telltale Games

Personally I think that the Mac's single button mouse is the most retarded creation throughout the entire spectrum of history. That seems to be a part of Apple's philosophy though; simplification to the point of complexation.

Ohhh, my tiny brain couldn't possibly figure out how to operate two whole buttons! Jeez.

Agreed. That's one of the (admittedly) few reasons I haven't considered a Mac

Spacebar just pauses the game on Mac.

Uh, how about the period key (.)? Or maybe try running your hand across the keyboard and seeing if any of them work? Surely, there's some way to achieve this! Bloody Apple!

It doesn't matter really, I mean 90% of the game is cutscenes and dialogue anyway so I'd just be skipping most of the game.

...and we've come full circle to my original point.

I've heard you can just plug a USB two-button mouse into a Mac and it will work as you'd expect it to.

Haven't tried it myself, though.

You can and it will.
My mighty mouse's scroll ball "died" pretty fast, so I switched to a regular USB two-button mouse before I got a magic mouse.

2 buttons?
Are there actually mice with less than 3 buttons made in this century?
(Note, the wheel doubles as a button)

Speaking of which, you do realise most people knew about the right clicking right?
Its funny here, but all of the new BTTF people are speculating about stuff that most TTG members already know.
That seems funny to me.

I'm not sure if it's in all of the "one button" Mac mice or just the one I tried, but despite looking like one continuous button the mouse I tried actually can tell the difference between the user pressing on the left and on the right.
However there is a setting which controls whether or not to register the right-clicks, which is turned off by default.
I hate continuous mice though, so I grabbed a logitech.

All Mac's are kinda silly.

Nope, not all wheel mice have buttons in the wheel. Some that do, don't send a signal when you press the wheel button either. (Ala the first replacement dualshocks / standalone dualshocks for PSOne. The analog sticks had buttons in them (R3, L3) but the games had to be coded to accept them. Only a couple did.)

As for if mice are built with fewer than three buttons:

Most trackball mice don't have more than two buttons either. Also, the mac mouse can work on PCs. So, there are plenty of mice with fewer than three buttons.

The cheap one I'm using now costs $8 from the local computer parts shop has 3 buttons and a scroll-wheel. I'm never paying $50 for a Mighty mouse or any other mouse from Apple again. They always break on me.
