Here is another (very small) mistake which Jobs made: He thought a mouse should have one button (so as not to confuse users, apparently). He did not want users to have to “right click”.

So Lisa, IIGS, Mac, etc. all came out with a single button.

To me, this was just wrong.

Over time, Windows mice had two or three buttons and maybe a “wheel”. This obviously gives the user more power.

And then he endorsed the idea of a mouse with no buttons! This article claims that this came about through a misunderstanding.

I guess the problem was addressed eventuality with the multi-touch “magic mouse”. But I don’t know for sure as I have never used one.

Here is a picture of original Macintosh mice:
