This is the video I couldn't find anywhere online. Thank you! Helps me to decide btwn trackpad and mouse
No problem glad the video is useful for you!
do i need to turn it off what do you recomend?
No just leave it on and whenever you need to charge charge.
@@DHTV is there firmware updates ever for this mouse? just curious and will it let you know when you need to charge if you do not check the percentage?
The “disable trackpad while mouse is connected” setting is for when you’re using a mouse and the laptop’s built-in keyboard. If you rest your arms on the laptop while typing it could cause some input on the trackpad creating some quirky situations.
Happens when you rest your palm and typing and without a mouse
Thanks so much for this! I normally use my iPhone for everything, but recently got a MacBook Air with a Magic Mouse and felt like a stranger in a foreign land. This got me back on track again.
No problem glad the video helped!
@@DHTV same here! thanx!
The default tracking speed was low in my mouse and i never realised that .. i stopped using for a week now and after seeing your video i corrected it and i love the magic mouse now :)
That’s great to hear! Glad I could help!
Thank you! I just switched from a pc to a MacBook Pro and a Magic Mouse and I am lost. Your video was very helpful. Now I at least can move around the screens. I am on my way to moving around confidently because of your video.
That’s great to hear! So glad my video was able to help!
I have had this magic mouse for 2 weeks and hated it. Then I watched your video and now I love it. Great job explaining. I did not know all this stuff. Thanks for doing the video!
Thanks so glad it made the experience better for you. It’s so useful for macs.
Me too. Thought I had wasted my money but this video has just changed my whole perception of it. It’s a nice gadget
Same lol I almost returned it
Once you use the mission control, you really can't go back. I actually clicked on this vid looking to make sure it has some mission control access on it lol. It just feels amazing to use. Though I wish it was the three finger swipe up and down like it is on mac. I still can't get over how fluid it feels...
This exactly.
Boy thanks a lot. I got so confused. I was so used to the trackpad. Tysm
No problem glad the video helped!
Wait which one is best in your opinion
A watch videos today saying this stuff is useless… and I just bought it yesterday, makes me regretted it, but this video just wanna make me pay more for it…
I can’t thank you enough. I really do appreciate it… thanks
Thanks glad my video was helpful for you!
Just moved from windows to mac, the video was very much helpful! thank you for explaining it!
Thanks so glad I could help!
Brilliant thank you - I had no idea how to use my mouse and it's been sitting on my desk for a few years. My Track pad starting playing up so I got it out and I love it more. Cheers
So glad I could help!
I'm having trouble with the mouse scrolling when i click on things. It's very annoying. Is there a way to make the mouse only scroll up and down when using two fingers instead of one to eliminate this problem?
You are limited to the options that are in the mouse settings so unfortunately not.
Thank you for taking the time to make this informative instructional video. I've had a Magic Mouse for several years that I gave up on using because I didn't understand it. This video helped me tremendously. Thanks again.
Thanks so glad the video was helpful!
u couldn’t read the manual?
Me too, had no idea, I just bought my iMac and was like this mouse sucks. I will go to these settings. Thanks for the video
Yes, I also thank you for this most clearly in structural video - I'm totally new to MacBook Pro and the mouse, and you really saved me a lot of frustration and time. I'm also totally new to Adobe Illustrator, so I have two items to learn at the same time - clear, well thought out Tutorials like this one, is worth gold to me! Thanks again!
Love the demo! I was debating between spending the extra money for an Apple Mouse 2. Your video sold it! Just purchased my first Apple Magic Mouse! Thank you!
Thanks so glad the video was helpful
Great video! I just bought a magic mouse 2 and had no idea how to use it and now I feel like a pro
Thanks glad it was helpful for you.
Thank you!!! I had issues opening my files when clicking mouse, your video was very helpful, able to open files.
So glad my Apple Magic Mouse tutorial was able to help!!!
Thanks for the easy instructions. Is there anything I should know about how to move the mouse around? For some reason, it is not easy to move around my desk. Thanks
No problem, sometimes a mouse pad helps
A great help thanks. You have explained it all point by point, in good old fashioned English language, very concisely and ease to follow. Thanks again.
Thank you appreciate the comment and glad I could help!
yoo thanks.. this video was actually pretty helpful for me because ima windows user who shifted to macOS recently, and I got the apple magic mouse with it. It feels really hard to hold, hopefully i get used to putting my whole palm on the mouse and using it rather than using it in a claw type grip.
THANK YOU!!! I could not figure out how to right click with the new mouse. I didn’t realize I had to change the settings as I thought it was already set like my last iMac.
So glad I could help
So helpful! I was struggling with my, new to me, Magic Mouse. Long time Mac user, here.
Glad to help!
@@DHTV you aren't "GLAD TO HELP" you're glad to that GULASH.
it sounds like the magic mouse does not have a tap (in lieu of click) option, the way one can do on the inbuilt trackpad? is this correct? I'm not keen on anything that requires physical clicking because it always makes a sound but I can't find a mouse that allows you to tap for click and I'm not sure if the apple mouse does it.
Thank you for the thorough explanation of the Magic Mouse it really helped me with the functionality.
Glad the video helped!
Thank you, this was so helpful. I got my first MacBook at Christmas and I’m new to a Mac operated system instead of windows operated. I could not figure out how to use the mouse properly and now I do because of your video! Thank you so much 😀
No problem glad I could help!
Great video!
By the way, can I use the mouse only with touch gesture?
I don’t want the click sound since I have to use it in a quite environment.
Glad to help! As far as I know it has to be click.
I just ordered my Magic Mouse and this video was very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it helped.
This tutorial has been helpful. I am yet to start a virtual training and after buying the Magic Mouse I thought that I missed out one important gadget and that is the PPT pointer, then I quickly came to youtube to check why I have no sign on the mouse that it is charging! And boom, I got to this tutorial and guess what? I do not need PPT pointer. The magic mouse is indeed MAGIC ❤️.
Thanks for the great comment! Glad the video was useful for you!
Excellent thank you for this informative and easy to follow tutorial. I can finally use this wretched mouse for this iMac.
No worries glad the video was useful for you!
Super helpful video!! Made a huge difference in using my new Magic Mouse and keyboard effectively. Thanks!!
Thanks so glad I could help!
Thanks so much for this ! I was going to send it back because it had slow motion on. I bought a new mouse pad because I though that was the problem. Thanks once again!
No worries glad I could help!
Thank you so much for this video. Well for me Apple Magic Mouse is good especially if you have small space in your desk and you need to move the mouse if you know what i'm saying.. Well, keep it up APPLE!
Glad you liked the video!
I am running Windows on my MacBook Air via Parallels (just for one particular software program that I use. With the Magic Mouse would I be able to do a left-click and right click in the same as is done on a Windows computer?
To be honest I’m not sure but I want to say yes as it’s basic functions. You would have to research it a bit more to be sure though.
Thx you so much sir this video really helped me to get an understanding on the apple mouse. So i just wanted to ask if the apple mouse is comfortable for your hand to hold???
For me it’s great. Been using the Magic Mouse since 2012 and recently just got the Magic Mouse 2. I do video editing, photoshop and spend hours at a time working with it. I have never had discomfort.
Is that mouse good for light gaming sir..
I got my mm2 and I was like a dog with a coconut. I played with it and hated it as I was clueless about gestures. Watched yo video and I began loving its gestures. It’s a marvellous piece of tech. Thanks. Is there any other mouse out there just like mm2? I mean all these gestures and cheaper
Glad the video helped. I’m sure there is something out there but I haven’t seen it.
Hi. The Apple Magic Mouse 2 works with the new Apple MacBook Air (2020 version ) together ?
Yeah it does
8:45
i love how the tab and the cam are perfectly aligned
Thanks!
DHTV you’re welcome
So the two finger gestures on trackpad are done with 1 finger and 3 finger gestures with 2 fingers. Great!
Thank you! I want to disable the horizontal scrolling, I disabled everything in the system preference for the mouse? But it’s still doing this annoying horizontal scrolling, it’s way too sensitive. How can I disable that?
Maybe in the accessibility settings but I am not sure if you can
Can you pinch to zoom in or out?
Not pinch unfortunately
thanks!@@DHTV
Excellently presented, just what was needed, nothing less, nothing more
Thanks glad the video helped!
You show that you can scroll left and right between pages BUT if you are in some programs and you have an enlarged image up will it allow you to move the image left and right. OR if you are in one page with a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom will it manipulate the horizontal scroll bar ?
Horizontal scroll doesn’t work for me if there is a scroll bar and usually click and drag would move the page that’s larger
Nice video. As a new MAC owner, I need all the help I can find :)
So glad I could help! I have more MacBook tutorials on my channel if you are looking for more!
This video is from three years ago and it's still the best option to figure out how this moue works lol. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the comment, maybe it is time to refresh this tutorial but I am glad it is still teaching!
Is it alsays respinsive? Does sometimes it not respond to a hand gesture?
No it’s very responsive haven’t really had any issues
Great video - is there any way to make the mouse less sensitive. When I rest my finger on top to click anything the page I am on bounces/scrolls. Its very frustrating as I can't just click on anything
It’s thought there are some options in the accessibility settings but probably wouldn’t help this issue.
You barely touch this mouse and it screen goes nuts. Very frustrating when trying to click on small details
I don’t have the issue but did have to disable the force click because it caused me issues
Does the swiping between pages to go back and forth work in other apps than browsers? Does it work in Finder and spotify for example?
What I'm wondering is if it's supported in the same way the back/forward buttons on other mice are
Thanks, it's helpful. I almost sell my magic mouse because it's quite heavy and hard to use. What's a good surface or mouse pad for this because it doesn't work well on the surface of my plastic table.
So glad my video was able to help. As for surface, it works best on hard surfaces however and thin fabrics work well too. I use a desk mat.
Is there a better mouse pad to use . My mouse sometimes will not want to move very well.
Hi, is the scroll gesture work also on magic mouse 1(2AA) for ipad air 4? All i can use now is the left/right click and scroll by actually moving the mouse…
I think it does I can’t remember though 100%
Greatly appreciate your thorough and easy-to-follow tutorial!
Thanks glad you found it helpful!
my Magic Mouse went a bit mad when I first got it. It slowly let me do features 1 by 1. It's so good once you get used to it.
Yeah like everything it takes time to get used to it and then you can decide if it’s good or bad.
I do have a question, how can I use the mouse when I am presenting, and using the mouse as my pointer? Thank you.
Not sure what you mean?
I wish apple would make a scrolling option like on logitech wheel..when you hold down scrolling well your able to moce rhat iem around on screen
Helpful in cad programs
That would be useful
Is there a way to totally disable the scrolling feature? I turned of natural scrolling, but I can still finger scroll.
Thanks for your quick assistance. I found couple of useful tips as I work on Windows and Mac as well. And becuase of this, I wanted to have a prodictivity which you helped.
So glad my video was able to help!
I just bought one today and unboxed it to hook it up with my iPad and this was useful
Glad I could help!
Can i get IT to my ROG PC? I rly want to use it😢
What is the core difference between buy-in a $79 apple Magic Mouse & the Logitech Pebble 350 or for that matter any bluetooth mouse which are available between $14-$28. I would to pair it with mu MacBook Air and iPad.
I’m not familiar with the Pebble
The left click button is a bit harder, and will cause finger pain if click it all day long,is there an option can change left click to tap?
Unfortunately not
Thanks for sharing this. With Apple products I find it best to learn shortcuts.
Glad I could help!
Great idea to show the side rectangular with your hand and the mouse! Very informative!
Thanks so much! Glad I could help with the Apple Magic Mouse.
what about middle click for opening the webpage in new tab in browsers?
Unfortunately there isn’t one
I don't have a MacBook. I don't have an Apple Magic Mouse, but I liked the video because it helped many people. Great video!
Thanks!
i get scrolling when i move the mouse and often when i try to select (or double click) text. makes me nutty. how can i control this? i want to be able to scroll with my finger. and i appreciate swipe between pages. but the the rest is making me nuts
Just takes getting used to.
Thank you for this. Very helpful. Wondering if there is a way to single tap instead of single click?
As far as I know there isn't. You might be able to find something in the accessibility options for the mouse but I haven't dug that deep.
thank youuu! this is so helpful! but how do i know if the mouse is charging or not?
Glad to help! Before you plug it in, open the Bluetooth settings on the computer. Plug the Magic Mouse to the lightning cable and it should show up in the Bluetooth settings with a charging icon.
I am new in Mac. Magic mouse seems very slow to me. Is there any way to increase the speed. I already did maximize the value in the system difference then mouse.
Unfortunately if you maxed it out, other then the accessibility setting there isn’t an option. However, if you use it on a hard surface or a non fabric mouse pad, I find it speeds it up a lot.
I have an issue. I just bought the latest Magic Mouse and I’m new into the MacOS. I feel the mouse does not track my movements as precise as I used to do it with my previous windows OS. It feels like I have to do a lot of effort to point at a very tiny detail. I assume there’s a solution for this. Any advices? Thanks!
I have found that some fabric mouse pads are the issue. Try on a hard surface without the pad and see if it’s better.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I only have the secondary click, smart zoom and mission control activated and I'm wondering if you know how to stop the swiping motion when reading emails. I have a new iMac and am using the new Outlook feature
. As I scroll through my emails I'm finding that it's very easy to delete them as I naturally must be swiping slightly and the red delete box comes on. Is there anyway to stop this when looking through emails. Id much rather highlight an email and have to press delete. Appreciate your help.
It would be a setting in outlook id assume.
@@DHTV It's not but I'll work it out somehow
HELP! I only see Tracking Speed & Double-Click speed, theres no Gesture control in system preference. Im on macOS Monterey 12.7.1 and Magic mouse 2 with firmware 3.1.4
Is there a way to use the Gestures? My mouse clicks and tracking works but there just no gestures
When I bought my iMac I know nothing but got driven mad by the screen jumping to a very large view of a corner of the screen. It made me close and start again to get rid of it. Now I know how to disable it as I do not use it. I nearly took it back to the apple shop as I found it annoying. Now I know it was an intentional feature and how to stop it. I kept googling as to why it happened as I thought it was a fault. No manual meant no information for new users.
They have the information online but it’s hard to find if you don’t know where to look. Glad my video helped you!
Is there a gesture to open all apps menu?
Thanks so much. Increased my productivity.
No problem glad I could help out
Question?..what if my apple mouse is lost somewhere in my workplace ..can i tract it if someone uses my mouse.hope i can get an answer sir.. thank you.. more power to your channel.
Unfortunately there isn’t a find option for the Magic Mouse as far as I know.
@@DHTV ok thanks man.. i really appreciated your reply..
LOVED IT THANK YOU SO HELPFUL
Really happy you found it useful!
07:40: nobody ever mentions it because it is not a mouse feature. Works with the trackpad too. And can be turned off from the pointer settings. Also, it doesn't get recorded in screen recordings or sharing sessions. But GREAT video as always!!
Thanks, good info!
Liked , subscribed within 2 mins of watching it. Thank you so much. Bought this few days back, kind of not liking it. Keeping it now :)
Thanks so much for the subscribe! Glad my Apple Magic Mouse tutorial helped you out!!
Does the magic mouse support 3 finger swiping like between desktops on the Macbook Pro?
Only the way I show in the video. Has to be enabled in some options.
Hi, does the magic mouse support horizontal scrolling? I'm wondering if that interferes with the scroll between pages option (with one finger), and if the scroll between pages option is enabled with two fingers, how does the scroll between full screen apps function change? Don't have the magic mouse yet so I can't test it out myself. Thanks for the video, incredibly helpful!
@@hunterjayfilm thanks!
Thanks for the info! I couldn't figure out why I was accidently zooming-in when I was moving my mouse to the right or left. It was getting annoying - not only because it was happening against my will, but alsoI didn't know what was causing it so I could do it deliberately when I really wanted it.
Glad to help!
How did you get your dock to be square and less round?
This was before macOS was redesigned in big sur
On my 2010 and 2011 I could swipe with two fingers from right to left to go back to a previous web page. I'm not able to do it with the 2021 Apple M1 computer and Magic Mouse. Do you have any tips on how to achieve that? Over the years I've gotten real used to being able to click on another page and then come back to this page just as if I were to go to the top left and click the BACK arrow.
You can it’s in the settings
@@DHTV Found it. Had to play around with the settings but I got it there. Thanks.
I love how it charges from the bottom so I have an excuse not to work when It dies 💀
Lol
🤣
Five minutes on the charger gets you over a day worth of battery life.
so true but if u have macbook and it dies you can user trackpad but if u use imac and then the mouse dies
you fucked up
😂😂
I am a long time Windows user who has just got a MacBook Pro, and I was pleased when I realised that the Magic Mouse I had for an iPad Pro would work on the MBP. I use an MX Master 3 on my Windows desktop, and they seem to be popular for MBP users, but I am actually finding the MM a good match for the MBP. Especially if you are going to be travelling with it. I learned some good tips from this video, so thanks for that. I am gradually getting to grips with the Mac, but some of it has taken some thinking about, and it was a relief to discover Rectangle after finding that Macs do not park windows like Windows. WTF is that about?
Very helpful and clear video for 1st timer to use Apple mouse, thank you!
I am new to use the mouse and it was very useful. Thank you.
Thanks glad the video helped
Very good, I should have looked at this video many months ago. It was extremely useful!!
Thanks so glad it was helpful
Is it worth getting if I already have the Magic Trackpad 2 and a Logitech G502 mouse for my Mac? I am planning to get Magic Keyboard as well, as I don't have that.
It’s personal preference if you feel the swipe and gestures will improve your productivity then yes. With the trackpad and another mouse though, do you need it?
@@DHTV Well, I did not think about it, that I can easily use the Logitech mouse and the Magic Trackpad at the same time.
Essentially doing what the MM could do, but with two devices.
Yeah exactly, if I didn’t make these videos I would probably do that too.
@@DHTV Thanks, good idea. Also, great work here.
Does this mouse still not respond well I found it hard to move the cursor where I wanted
I would like to touch instead of pushing the button. Is it possible?
Yeah tap to click option. I show it in this video.
Does this mouse work on windows as well?
Yes but the swipes won’t work and not sure if the right click option would. Research it’s limitations
Thanks so much! I didn't know anything about this magic mouse2 and was using it like an idiot. LMAO😂
No worries glad I could help
I get my mouse tmmr from Amazon. So hype for it. Thank you for showing many tips and tricks. Much appreciated
No problem glad you liked them. Enjoy your magic mouse!
thanks great video. good refresher on aspects and some nice new tips. great mouse.
Thanks glad it was useful
I got it today: First impression
Cons: Buttons are hard to click. Should be little more soft
Pros: Gestures (Love it)
How long did it take to transition from a scrolling wheel?
I went from scrolling mouse in the early 2000s to a track pad lap top setup pretty much until I got this mouse so for me there was no transition from a scroll wheel for me fortunately. I don’t think it would take long though.
Thanks for the tutorial it helped me to decide to buy the Apple Magic Mouse as opposed to a generic model.
That's great to hear. Enjoy the new mouse!
Thank you so much for this. As a MacBook newbie this has been very helpful.
So glad it helped, thanks for leaving the comment!
Is there a way to make the click quieter? Like the actual physical mouse click. What if you put a silicone mouse cover on it would it make it more quiet. It’s the only thing holding me back from buying one
Not sure I haven’t tried that.
