It almost seems like there are as many pointing device preferences as there are users. Other users prefer the sense of momentum you get from a high-quality scroll wheel, and while the Magic Mouse can scroll both horizontally and vertically, a number of creatives prefer to do that using a trackball. Some love being able to customize a large number of mouse buttons to perform common functions, and one mouse even allows you to customize those buttons on an app-by-app basis. After I became so sold on using gestures on a Magic Mouse, I switched to a Magic Trackpad where I could use them even more. In fact, I prefer a different pointing device myself. That’s a lot of functionality from a mouse with no buttons or wheels and shows the versatility of macOS’s gestures.ĭespite all of that, these mice don’t make everyone happy. You can double-tap to zoom in and out, swipe horizontally with two fingers to switch between Spaces and full-screen apps, and lightly double-tap with two fingers to open Mission Control. You can also slide your finger from left to right (or vice versa), and the mouse will scroll horizontally or turn pages, depending on which app you’re in. You move your finger as if you’re rotating a scroll wheel, and the mouse will scroll the page you’re on. You tap the left or right side of that surface as if there were buttons there, and the mouse will respond as if you pressed a button. Instead, it features a mini touchpad where those controls normally are. There’s not a single button or scroll wheel to be seen, and some people miss that. What’s so different? In typical Apple fashion, it’s incredibly minimalistic. Why doesn’t everyone love the Magic Mouse? The features that make some people-including myself-absolutely love Apple’s mouse, also leave some people cold or even annoyed. What’s So Different About the Magic Mouse?

You can use the predefined action "More Mouse Buttons & Modifiers / Custom Click" to send separate down/up clicks. You could use a three finger click to trigger a "Middle Mouse Down" and then a "Middle Mouse Up" after the last finger has left the trackpad / Magic Mouse surface. This is very useful if you want to set up e.g. Then after you remove the last finger the named trigger will be executed. However you can still leave your fingers on the trackpad and e.g. if you do a three finger click the default trigger will execute right after the click. If you set a Named Trigger in the advanced settings, it will be executed after you remove the last finger from the trackpad. The second one however is a so called "Named Trigger". It is triggered when the gesture is recognized. The first one is the default action you assign to an action. Starting in version 2.500 you can make a gesture trigger two different actions. Triggering a second action after removing the last touching finger for all click, tip tap and swipe gestures. for Three Finger Taps you won't have any fingers touching the trackpad after the gesture has been triggered. This doesn't work with all gestures, because e.g. Starting in version 2.500 you can now also choose to repeat the assigned action as long as a finger is still touching the trackpad after the gesture has been triggered. They can be accessed by clicking the little cog icon on the left of the gesture selection button.įor example you can make the gesture trigger only on specific trackpad types, you can define a haptic feedback or make a HUD (similar to the macOS volume or brightness change indicators) show up when the gesture is triggered. There are some advanced settings you can make use of. You assign an action or keyboard shortcut to that gesture.You click the "+Add New Gesture" button.In general the setup is pretty straight forward: You can configure many additional gestures for these devices.
