I know. The default setting is just insane, even as an iPad user it just feels totally wrong on a mouse.

Yup. Hey Apple... in case you haven't noticed, a mouse scrollwheel is NOT the same as a touchscreen!

End User wrote:I absolutely hate the click of any trackpad. Fortunately one can avoid trackpad clicks almost completely when using OS X (multi finger touch/swipe). That being said I much prefer the "click" of the trackpad on my rMB to that of my Magic Trackpads. The absence of travel makes a massive difference. If Apple were to release a Force Touch Magic Trackpad I'd switch over in an instant.

I disagree about discrete buttons being easier. I can multi touch anywhere on a Apple trackpad. Touch is way more efficient than click for me.
If you heart is set on a lower right mouse button you can set that in the trackpad prefs. I just tried it and it is such an awkward way to secondary click it made me shiver.

As mentioned before you can use whatever you want with a Mac.
