Not really off-topic.

VPC assumes that you have only a one-button mouse, and emulates the right
mouse button with the keyboard.

Now, most aftermarket Mac pointing devices that have two or more buttons
also have software that allow those extra buttons to emulate a keypress.

So, whatcha gotta do is to open your MouseWorks control panel (the
standard Kensington software), and configure your right mouse button to
emulate a Control-Click. I don't have the software here in front of me,
but it shouldn't be hard to do.

Yeah, It sounds confusing, I know: configuring a button to emulate a key
that emulates a button. Thankfully, you only have to do it once ;{>
