![]() Don’t worry about dragging the app file to your Applications folder because it moves it automatically upon first launch. The question is whether it’s better than the Magic Mouse in Win7 (working in Rhino 5). Once you download MagicPrefs, just click the app to launch it, then click the menu bar icon and select Preferences to open the dedicated System Preferences pane. Logitech recently announced their Magic-Mouse contendor, the Touch Mouse T631. I don’t know if iMacs include Bluetooth, but if it’s on the checklist, I can vouch for the Microsoft Sculpt Touch. The typical mechanical scroll wheel (aka: Food Trap) is replaced by a solid-state touch-sensitive strip. It’s Bluetooth, so again connects with the MacBooks. It’s been working well booting into Win7 or OSX. I’ve been using the Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse for nearly a year now. Stylistic coolness aside, this Rhino user needed his discreete mouse buttons. BetterTouchTool was the winner in my case, working on OS 'El Capitan'. Right-clicking is crucial to rotating around an object, but MOST of the time, what I got with the Magic Mouse was a mis-translated middle-mouse-click giving me the pop-up toolbar. MagicPrefs seems not to work with the new Apple Magic Mouse 2 (MLA02LL/A), when you try to customize the behavior of it, it shows a message indicating that the magic mouse was not detected. Apple’s Win7 drivers for the Magic Mouse would cause right-click operations to only work half the time. Problem is, I setup the notebook to dual-boot into Windows7 (T-Splines) and that’s where the Magic Mouse lost its luster. Also found it pretty slick that it can bring the system out of sleep. I love the fact that it operates over Bluetooth thus saving a USB port from being occupied. As for mouse, I’ve tried the Magic Mouse on my retina MacBook Pro.
