The old Mighty Mouse never had problems with right and left clicks - the reason I despised it is because the scroll wheel lasted one hour before becoming too gunked up to use. This fancy new Mega Mouse or whatever the fuck it's called cannot handle right clicks - I have about a 60% success rate. It's all academic as it's now listed on eBay and I am happily using my trusty Logitech...

Not having setup some magic key combination to get to some place where I could sync I had restart. boo.

Try this: Place both fingers over the two buttons, now without lifting any of them, do a left click. It will work. Try the right click. It won't work. That is what I HATED on the Mighty Mouse.

It certainly sounded awkward when I read the description and your explanation confirms it. I wonder why they made horizontal scrolling a two-finger swipe instead of just one.

It may take a little practice to get used to, but I love the move ! And you don't need two fingers to scroll vertically, it's not a laptop trackpad :) You only need one, like on any other mouse.
