No !  The pinky rests on the mouse pad, as does the thumb.
At times, my hand stands on thumb and pinky, not touching the mouse.

That leaves the three inner fingers ( pointer, middle, ring )
for the Left/Middle/Right clicking ( thee three _BIG buttons ).

The third one defaults to gShift, but you can make it RightClick.

I started using 3 button mice back in 1982 and never looked back.
( Lilith, a Modula2 engine; graphics, laser printer, etc. )

If you're not into mice, and you can't be bothered to configure it,
then you're nothing like me, period.
