• Definitely What I Needed.

  rfmartinez11/17/2012

  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!

  tamal251/24/2012

  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.ri10/15/2011

  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.

  Patrick Boivin6/10/2011

  Pros

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

  It may mean getting trackpad for my iMac but can't wait for Lion.

• Does what I wanted and more

  phm015/17/2011

  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.

  mrtn24212/18/2010

  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

  wtbixler4/1/2010

  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!
