Is it possible to configure Houdini to work fully with a two-button mouse? It seems almost nobody makes a “classic” three-button mouse anymore (the couple I have found are real, low-end corded models), they all have a scroll wheel that doubles as the mmb and, in general, are a serious PItA. Besides, what I really want to do is run the Apple Magic Mouse. (Running on a Mac Pro).

Thanks.

I can't imagine using a 2-button mouse with Houdini without losing lots of speed.
There are some mice form Logitech from example which feature a 3rd button above the scroll wheel. I have one and it works OK.

On a mac with a magic mouse, download Magic Prefs. It can help you set up a middle mouse button.
There's at least one school like the old school!

I'm not sure it's a button, from the description sounds more like a mix between a button and a touch/scroll strip. Anyway, it has a larger surface than a wheel…
