On Mac OS X, Maya gives you the option of using either a three button mouse, a two button mouse, or a single button mouse. (All documentation assumes the use of a three button mouse).
The following table shows the functional equivalents of two or one button mouse clicks to three-button mouse clicks.
When you use tumble, track, dolly, or select zoom with a one or two button mouse, the command controls are different from the controls described in the documentation for the three button mouse. Below is a table that specifies the control changes.
