There was at one point code in plan9port that simulated three
buttons along the top of the magic mouse; it read out where your
finger was on the mouse and used that information to simulate
the buttons.  I do not remember if that code is still enabled.
Perhaps not.  It was using undocumented APIs that are probably
different today.  It was also no substitute for three real buttons.
Without the tactile feedback about where your fingers were,
I found it very draining to use for long periods of time.
