EXPOSE ON MAGIC MOUSE??

HI,

One of the things i loved about my old mighty mouse was the ability to pinch those 2 buttons at the side of the mouse and 'expose' the screen, how do i go about doing that on the new magic mouse?

Is it even possible?

Many thanks

Tom

I feel exactly the same way though I read that we cannot do that with the Magic Mouse. A review I read said they asked Apple who replied you need to use the keyboard command again. It is unfortunate. There are things I like about the new mouse, but after using it for a while I think I may still keep and use the Mighty Mouse until I decide which I use more.

I wish they allowed a three finger button press with options such as Expose for that use. Maybe someday in a software update? Does anyone know if it can understand 3 points as the trackpad on newer Macbook Pros do? Or just two as older ones do?

I found that by setting the markers in all 4 corners of the screen, it really works better than the 2 pinch buttons on the old mouse.

I found this blog that explains how to enable expose and spaces for the magic mouse:

I found a simple fix. Go to Applications, and drag the Dashboard icon to your dock. Stay in Applications, and go to Utilities, and drag the Expose icon to your dock. The new dock icons work great!
