    Default BetterTouchTool for Magic Mouse

    I just downloaded this program for the Magic mouse and it is AWESOME!!
    I now have my middle click back in the form of a two finger tap (not click)

    I can also zoom in and out using the pinch gesture. Highly recommend this!

    Looks good, secondbar would have been useful a few months ago. Can't wait to try it out on my new iMac

    They probably will make it 'out of the box' one day but just not today

    I dunno, awesome software, I tried two or three finger tap for dashboard, which is what I used to use middle click for. But now I'm too used to my new shortcut of cmd-f1 and my left hand is always on the keyboard anyway so its actually easier and quicker.

    Ok, this program has just sold me on the magic mouse.

    I've been resisting it because I thought the options available were extremely poor and not worth the money.

    But with all these options now available I will definitely be trading up to one of these.

    I installed the program and set up 'two finger middle mouse click' in global but it still doesn't work

    (testing it in Google Chrome where my other mouse which has a middle click does work)

    what am i doing wrong?

    Just go to the OSX mouse preferences and enable secondary click (right) then the two finger click option will work with BTT.
