Scrolling in all directions was a big problem for me with my Magic Mouse 2. I downloaded MagicPrefs from MacUpdate and installed it. I opened its preferences and turned off the three diagonal scrolling prefs. Along the way I somehow ended up with three copies of the icon in the Menu Bar. I then clicked the box to turn off the icon in the menu bar. Now the icon doesn't show up in the doc or on the screen which means that I can't get to the preferences again. I also can't seem to quit or delete the program either. In that the annoying diagonal mouse movements are gone I may just leave it that way. Any suggestions?
Follow-up:
I have found that, with the app MagicPrefs installed, that my non-Apple bluetooth mouse works as it should and I don't have to put up with the horizontal scrolling problem. With the Magic Mouse 2 the horizontal scrolling can be turned off by the MagicPrefs app but the Magic Mouse 2 still doesn't work satisfactorily. So I do now have the bluetooth mouse I wanted.
I tried the command: defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO
however it doesn't work, even after logging off/on and disconnecting/connecting the magic mouse.
The mouse still goes crazy in any excel spreadsheet. I can't work with this mouse, its just unbelievably frustrating. Honestly, if I would have known this before I would not have bought this piece of ****. It drives me absolutely nuts.
I don't have an answer to your question, but I can't help but remark that... well, the only kind of scrolling you can do is horizontal haha
I know you mean left/right scrolling, but yeah it made me laugh imagining what vertical scrolling would look like
just ignore me, I'm being daft
Ha, I'm here because of InDesign as well. Accidental swipes send my pages flying a least a few times a day. Then I had a eureka moment and thought I should just disable horizontal scrolling. Was disappointed to find the option not there. I think maybe it used to be available at some time in the past in a previous OS. Maybe not?
