It barely works, not sure what everyone is raving about. It's a great idea of course, but it's hardly even usable. The Magic Mouse is the worst touch sensitive surface ever produced, making all attempts at programmable multi-touch near futile.
Lol? The problem isn't the Magic Mouse, it's the program. Try out BetterTouchTool, it actually recognizes your gestures.
I definitely agree with you.BTT is an amazing application, and I'm definitely more productive now using my MagicMouse and MBP trackpad.
Also, MagicPrefs lacks much of the functionality that BTT offers. Even things like using a 2 finger tap for Middle Click isn't supported by MagicPrefs.
However, that being said, I'd say it could use a more refined and polished UI like MagicPrefs.

If BetterTouchTool was out a month ago, why didn't anyone who is complaining today take the time to email the TUAW braintrust to request a Page 2 article for that utility?
My guess is that the MagicPrefs developers are better at marshaling resources to get the word out about their product (to Giz and TUAW) vs the BetterTouchTool developer.
At the end of the day, I'm just looking for something to enable (re-enable?) Expose with the new Magic Mouse. Unfortunately, until some of the music and photography applications I'm running are updated for Snow Leopard I can't use BetterTouchTool because it's SL-only.At least MagicPrefs works on 10.5...
Will this mouse -- along with the swiping/scrolling functionality -- work on a Vista-based PC? Anyone know? Thanks...
I agree 100%.The developer of BTT is a student who is not looking for money, just to write a good program. He probably has a million other things to do than build PR for his hobby project that he so generously updates for the community and is now the defacto standard magic mouse software. Kudos to him!
It's clear why Apple didn't do this. Apple are about keeping an interface simple and intuitive. To have a dozen functions right from the get go is overwhelming for general access.
I mean, they could add ten buttons to a trackpad if they wanted, but Apple's style is to go with, well.... none.
The most important thing is to be able to resize a window that is too large for the display (because it was last opened using a larger monitor or at a higher resolution).I'd also like to give a shout out to Zooom2, which offers proper window resizing and movement to OS X

If you hold the option button and click on the green zoom button at the top left of the window, it will resize the application's window to something usable at the current resolution. Then you can resize to your hearts content via the bottom right corner, while saving $15.![]()
