What the other person is saying about “discoverability” is not entirely accurate. The Mac mouse has traditionally had one button, going way back. No, I mean waaaaay back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pointing_devices Cost was a massive factor given the tech of the time and the fact that they were shooting for the home market using hardware that wasn’t readily available off the shelf.
Macs have COMMAND, OPTION, and CONTROL keys. CONTROL+click is the equivalent of a right mouse click, but it may not be implemented by developers as standard in games and I’m not sure if the MacOS system hooks CONTROL+click to the same output as an actual right mouse click.
Modern Mac mice have what’s basically a touchpad instead of buttons, which is awesome since it gives you things like a scroll wheel and a right button. But it’s absolute RSI-buggering trash for the most part.
