Magic Mouse

Hey guys I just received my magic mouse. I have a few questions that the book did not address.
I put the track speed to fast, yet the mouse still moves across the screen pretty slowly.
I also have to move the mouse literally to the bottom of my desk to get to the bottom of my screen. I'm assuming this is just because I have a 17" screen, but it is very annoying.

Are there any fixes for these problems?
 
I got one yesterday. Try MagicPrefs.

Not only does it enhance tracking, but it can enable more multi-touch options.

As a new Mac owner, I got used to Expose very quickly, and missed it as soon as I used a mouse instead of the trackpad.
 
Ah downloaded it! Thank you I love it now. The only thing I don't like is that when I move the mouse slow the tracker goes even slower, and magicprefs doesn't seem to fix that.

Ah yes, the dreaded acceleration curve. Believe it or not you will get used to it but there are some things you can adjust in magicprefs or better touch tool to adjust it. At the moment I can't think of which one but when I do I will post back.
 
For WoW I installed Microsoft Mouse software and that took care of the problem for me. But sometimes I don't feel like using the MM so I will plug in the Microsoft Mouse and then I have to readjust the in game speed in WoW.
 
And while in here, I'm trying to use a separate mouse since I really don't think I can deal with the slowness in game of the MM. Is there a reason that my mbp won't recognize my IHome mouse?
