27" iMac + Magic Mouse

Gilbert89 · 2 Aug 2011 at 00:17

Being used to a gaming mouse the Magic Mouse has took quite a while to get used too now I have my sensitivity on full is there a way to make it even more sensitive as on this large screen I feel it is too slow Im finding myself dragging the mouse around. I have a Logitech mouse which is far better but Im just wanting to know If i have any options to increase the performance of this so called Magic Mouse.

Edit.. oh and another thing, both my Keyboard and Mouse have said 100% battery life since I bought the Mac obviously that is inaccurate is there a way to find out the real percentage by fixing this?

Try magicprefs . I had the same problem with my iMac but could never get used to it tbh.

I will give that a gander, Yes I can see what you mean but Im a sucker for how Macs look and putting the mouse away collecting dust would bug me, but lets see how magicprefs performs If there is any advantages I will play serve If not, im done with it!

Yeah just use Magic Prefs, it has it's own slider for tracking speed so you can get the cursor whizzing round the screen at whatever speed suits. I had the same problem with my HP monitor ('only' 1920x1200 though!) with the mouse being too slow even at full speed until I installed it.

Will give it a try once I have finished the clean install. Cheers!

Magic Pref - All I can say is life saver thank you people! Great little addition.
