Shake Mouse Pointer

[AtheistP3ace]

Does this only work from the trackpad or something? I found the setting in accessibility and it is turned on. I have a magic mouse. When I shake it the mouse pointer does not increase in size. Am I shaking it wrong? =]

It works with my magic mouse. I have to shake fast like 20 times to get it working.

Do you have an external monitor attached? Is that a requirement?

No. I just use my MBP's built-in screen.

Try circular motions. Back and fourth doesn't activate it anymore.

 

[AtheistP3ace]

No that didn't help either. What the heck!! haha.

Aha! I figured it out. I have a plugin called MagicPrefs installed that allows you to create your own magic mouse taps and gestures. I disabled it and the shake to find started working. =]
