Did you get a new Apple Magic Mouse for the Holidays? I certainly did – and its awesome! However it lacks some basic features that the original Mighty Mouse had including buttons for Expose, and other cool items. So how do you enable those features in the Magic Mouse?

It’s quite simple using a plugin feature called Magic Pref Pane – which enables you to customize the Magic Mouse the way you like it. Also – its a free plugin for the Mac!

It’s awesome features allow you customize what types of “taps” you would to associate with actions in Mac OS X. This has saved me numerous amounts of time using the new mouse. On my mouse, I have it set that if I click the Mouse with Three fingers – I am able to use Expose to see all open Applications. It’s amazing!

One of the biggest problems I had with the old Mighty Mouse is that the “Scroll Ball” always got stuck due to oil from my finger overtime. With the new Magic Mouse – now I can just scroll freely with the touch, and customize the “virtual” buttons to my liking!
