Apple's Magic Mouse Fix

Edson · 14 Mar 2010, 11:37

people have been complaining about the fact that apple's magic mouse is not good ergonomically. now someone has developed a fix for this problem. look it over at http://mmfixed.com/ .

on a different subject: has anyone found a way around the fact that the magic mouse lacks a scroll wheel? has any one found a way to orbit with it in sketchup?

Hi Edson,

This is the best way to fix the contour also the scroll wheel problem

using BetterTouchTool you can add Single Finger Middle Click gesture as MiddleClick just for Sketchup app. it needs a bit of adjustment until you click on the middle but you can adjust where the middle zone starts/ends

also using LiveView you can play and see in realtime where your fingers are on the mouse

thanks, TBD. but what is LiveView? is it something one installs or a preference pane?

it is a tool to track the fingers on the magic mouse available in BetterTouchTool

I tried MagicPrefs and it works okay. The middle button for rotation can be simulate by two fingers tip. ( my choice )
