I recently purchased a magic mouse for my macbook pro. I have to move the mouse about twice as far(than my microsoft mouse) to move the cursor the length of my monitor. I adjusted the tracking and scrolling, faster, slower etc and it doesn't help the distance I have to move the mouse. Is this normal or do I have a defective magic mouse. I run out of room on my mousepad.
Got a tip for us?

It's most likely your bluetooth reception. The internal antenna on the Mac Pro is junk. Search this forum for "Bluetooth reception" and you will see a number of threads. I went as far as replacing the Bluetooth antenna with one which runs external to the case...

MagicPrefs?
I'm not completely sure why that is but try MagicPrefs: http://magicprefs.com/
since it can increase the tracking speed even more. If that doesn't really help and it's really bothering you, go ask a guy at the apple store. Good Luck!
