A couple of users have had problems with the mouse not working correctly on VRPC (usually the centre buton not bringing up the RISC OS menus).
After a bit of experimenting we have checked and the following settings need to be applied to the mouse button under Mac OSX:
Left button - Primary
Right Button - Secondary
Centre button - Dashboard.
This should resolve any problems.

I find that Button 3 rather than Dashboard works on the Mac Mouse but this does not work on the Mighty Mouse. Using Mighty Mouse it seems that it is not possible to get a Menu button - unless anybody else has any suggestions.

I use a mighty mouse all the time with no problems. The default VRPC setup will work with the mighty mouse straight away. However (as per the manual) you will need to hold down CTRL when pressing Menu when running VRPC in a window. This is because by default under Mac Os X pressing the middle of the mouse will open Dashboard - if you turn this feature off under Mac OS X then the mouse will work "normally" with RISC OS running in a window.

Thanks Aaron,

It looks like I had a faulty button 3 on my mouse or, perhaps I should say, on what is now my wife's mouse. Mum's the word.
