Can't Change Magic Mouse Settings

I just got my new Magic Mouse in the mail today. I paired it with my MacBook with no problem. The thing is, when I go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Bluetooth, my mouse isn't listed. If I pair my Mighty Mouse, it is. But that Magic Mouse is not.

I really want to set up scrolling and gestures, but right now I can only click! Am I looking in the wrong place? Did I miss a step?

Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Did you install the drivers as advised on the back of the box?

Yes, tracking is too slow, even on max. Apple, we need an update, please. Other than that sort of minor issue this is a great mouse. I love the feel of it.

Oops, wrong thread. Sorry.

I agree with the tracking speed. I had to drag slider for speed to max in mouse configuration.

Whenever I plan to play Windows games that utilize mouse's wheel, I have to switch mouse to one with wheel.. I have to reset the slider back to default every time I switch. Otherwise, Mr Flash likes that setting!

@Apple: Can you provide update with official tweak so the default tracking speed is how it should be? Much appreciated!
