• Definitely What I Needed.

  rfmartinezNovember 17, 2012

  Pros

  This app is really helps with productivity. I do a lot of research and with that, I need to open several articles. I missed not having a middle-click. THIS app saved me from returning my Magic Mouse. Awesome.

  Cons

  None so far. I'll update if I find something.

• A Must Have!

  tamal25January 24, 2012

  Pros

  Enable Tap functions Customizable Swipe functions 1,2, 3 or 4 click/tap/swipe functions to activate Expose/finder/dashboard/hide/etc Free to Download All-in-One hub for magic mouse/magic trackpad/macbook trackpad Increase Speed furthermore if necessary

  Cons

  None. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this program.

  Summary

  This app is a must have! You can do just about anything you want to with this program. Even have a neat Capslock reminder (similar to when you increase/decrease volume and brightness). Overall, this program is amazing! Download it now! You won't be disappointed. For MacOS Lion/Snow Leopard or older. Oh yeah, did I mention it's free?

• "Free, visual set up features, complements Magic Mouse"

  towne.riOctober 15, 2011

  Pros

  Once you decide which functions you really need, Magic Prefs is smooth, unobtrusive, and adds the functionality that Magic Mouse should have. I have added middle click (Dashboard). That one added function makes downloading this free app worthwhile. In addition, the real time view of finger positioning during setup is a wonderful feature as individuals will hold their hands/fingers ergonomically different.

  Cons

  An abundance of possible redundant or overlapping functions that could take away from Magic Mouses' simplicity, and your computing sanity.

  Summary

  I would recommend adding Magic Prefs to your pref panes, even if you require just one added function.

• I cannot wait to use it later when I upgrade to Lion.

  Pros

  I use my fingers a lot with my iPad and cannot wait to use it with Lion.

• Does what I wanted and more

  phm01May 17, 2011

  Pros

  Works with iMac and on 30" monitor/MacBook Pro. Fully flexible to turn on/off features including keeping on vertical scroll while turning off horizontal scroll. Added multi-finger gestures is useful (esp. to Spaces).

  Cons

  Sooo many features, hard to decide what to try and use :)

  Summary

  Solved problems that Magic Mouse prefs inadequate for large screens and provided excellent control of which gestures to turn on/off. Also provided many additional useful gestures (and some I did not find I would use).

• This version is flawed.

  mrtn242December 18, 2010

  Pros

  Earlier versions worked fine for me.

  Cons

  Too many bells and whistles in this version.

  Summary

  In this version, I turned on middle click to change cursor to finger, could not get it to shut off even after disabling and quitting this version. Finally un-installed it to get my magic mouse to run properly.

• A True Enhancement

  wtbixlerApril 1, 2010

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm a little too uncoordinated to use many trackpad gestures but I do use MagicPrefs for restoring center button access to Dashboard and adding tracking speed. The developer is quite responsive to questions too. Very nice work!
