Better Touch Tool: Unlocking the Magic of Your Magic Mouse

If you're a fan of Apple's Magic Mouse, you know how much fun it can be to use gestures on your multi-touch trackpad. But did you know that there are ways to unlock even more functionality from your Magic Mouse? One tool that can help is Better Touch Tool, which provides a range of enhancements to the multi-touch trackpad - and can also work with the new Magic Mouse.

Similar to MouseWizard for the Magic Mouse, jitouch offers a number of enhancements to the multi-touch trackpad (though they claim Magic Mouse support is coming soon). TheAppleBlog has some instructions on setting it up for use with the Magic Mouse. While built for the multi-touch trackpads, this application will work with the new Magic Mouse.

With Better Touch Tool, you can add custom gestures that make use of your Magic Mouse's capabilities. You can combine these gestures with modifier keys to create even more functionality. For example, you can assign a three-finger swipe left to show Notification Center. And if you're missing some gestures from your trackpad on your Magic Mouse, don't worry - Better Touch Tool has got you covered.

MouseWizard is another option for enhancing the Magic Mouse experience. This small project aimed at enhancing multitouch experience on Snow Leopard machines offers a number of options, including 'pinch', 'bloat', and 'tap-clicking' behaviors, as well as alternative function assignments to various behaviors. While it's still in beta testing (and should probably be considered in 'alpha' development), MouseWizard is definitely worth checking out.

So why not give Better Touch Tool a try? With its custom gestures and modifier keys, you can unlock even more functionality from your Magic Mouse. And who knows - you may just find yourself loving your Magic Mouse even more than before.
