killersushi Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 bump any help? Sorry don't have a tip for you other than recommending getting rid of that piece of {censored}. Get a real mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The iMan Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 i was trying to avoid that It's not a piece of {censored} mouse in osx its only in winblowz do you think its a hardware problem because it makes the same clicking sound in osx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It's the squeeze feature built into the mighty mouse that's doing that, it is automatically assigned to be a back button. I have the same exact problem with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsDaKronic Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I noticed that my mouse responds better in xp and vista than on leopard. Mighty mouse is really pissing me off. I put the speed all the way up but its still way too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacro_84 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hey.. I also have a su**ing mighty mouse behaviour. It works perfect on XP (Parallels), but it jumps weirdly on leopard. It wont react like I want to. The funny thing is that if I rise it up and use it like 1mm above the surface, it works perfectly. I tried different surfaces but nothing. About the speed: open the Terminal and type: open ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist there you can edit the com.apple.mouse.scaling to any other higher number you wish. (9 is very fast). To quit click on the red quit button of the window and accept saving the changes. Then restart your computer and you will have a faster mighty mouse. Don't touch the mouse velocity on the normal system preferences after that because it will reset you your special number changed before. I still need something to smooth the bloody mouse and make it react like I want. I've used the mouse on other macs and have not noticed the same behaviour. It must be some local problem on my mac. Any Ideas?? cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedfreaK Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 the mighty mouse is an optical mouse, buy a laser mouse! laser mouses are more responsive and cool to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
