MagicPrefs for Mac

If you're finding your new Magic Mouse not particularly flexible or lacking essential features, then MagicPrefs adds many new, customizable gestures to them. MagicPrefs is a toolbar application which significantly improves the functionality and configuration options of Magic Mouse. These include such things as the MagicMenu which gives you a holistic display of your Magic Mouse features plus the ability to configure the middle click, hold down both mouse buttons plus access Spaces, Expose, and the Dashboard.

You can even control the taps using MagicPrefs' Tap Sensitivity feature which allows you to use a slider to determine how hard you want to tap the Magic Mouse. One other very welcome feature for Magic Mouse users is MagicPrefs' ability to change Tracking Speed which the developer's claim adds an extra 25% to the speed of your mouse cursor.

The interface of this program is superb with a real-time display of your fingers touching the surface of the mouse as you test how it responds to various tweaks and changes you make. The only problem you might have is trying to master the different swipes and gestures MagicPrefs requires, but that will come with practice.

MagicPrefs will be a breath of fresh air to any Magic Mouse user who is disappointed with the default functionality. And if it doesn't help you, don't forget to check out our selection of other great Magic Mouse software.
