So my Apple Mighty Mouse completely broke last week. Which meant only one thing, adoption of a new Apple Magic Mouse. First impressions we ok but then the accidental input annoyances started to happen when using Photoshop. The canvas would slide all around the screen as if I were painting on a runaway train. This was all down to my ring finger balancing on the right-hand side of the touch sensitive area.

Many articles suggest holding the edge instead, but it’s way too sharp to make it comfortable. Then I discovered this little third-party system preference pane called “MagicPrefs” You are able to configure your Magic Mouse to your hearts content. Four finger taps, clicks and swipes all allow for a different action.

I however, opted for removing the sensitive area from my ring finger resting place and adding a dashboard open on Apple logo tap. The mouse is back and I’m once again on the smooth express.
