You can speed up the pointer movement of your Magic Mouse using the system settings. If this acceleration is not enough for you, you can fall back on a special program for OS X. We show you how it works.
Speed up pointer movement using Mac system settings
- Start the system settings.
- Then select the "Mouse" tab under "Hardware".
- Here you can see a control for the pointer movement - from "slow" to "fast". Move it until you find the pointer movement comfortable.
Adjust magic mouse acceleration with "Mouse Zoom"
If the mouse acceleration is still too slow for you, you can try the "Mouse Zoom" program:
- After the download, click on the DMG file and start the installation.
- Select your Mac type ("Intel Macs" or "PowerPC Macs") and click on the only file in the folder.
- You will then be asked to restart the system settings. Click OK". Now you can move the pointer movement control further to the right.
