Skyrim Mac Mouse Simultaneous Click

macosmousethe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I recently picked Skyrim on my Mac and I can't double cast or bash with my shield, because those actions require a simultaneous click. Sometimes I'm able to do it (don't ask me how), but I'm looking for a way to either map M2's functions to the keyboard OR find a way to properly configure my mouse in order to make the movements possible.

Thanks in advance!!!

The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Page on Skyrim's controls even mentions this issue with mice like the Apple Magic Mouse:

Dual Cast: Attack with both hands simultaneously. If the same spell is assigned to both hands and you have unlocked the appropriate Dual Casting perk, a more powerful version of the spell is cast. If your mouse doesn't support left click + right click--some don't--remap right click to an unused modifier key, for example the Applications Key (or on a Macintosh running bootcamp, the cmd key) and use that instead.

This way, you can Command+click to dual cast.

Alternatively, you can pick up a cheap USB mouse (~$10) and plug that in when playing Skyrim to get separate left- and right-click buttons that can be pressed simultaneously.
