If you don't like the way your mouse works, you can change it!
When it comes to using a mouse, everyone is different—some like fast double-clicking, others like natural scrolling. Maybe you prefer a traditional button mouse to Apple's Magic Mouse. Maybe you want to use right-clicking again. Whatever your preferences are, you can customize them to suit you better in macOS. Here's how.
