Magic Mouse Mission Control Gesture Doesn't Work

I have checked all settings to make sure the gesture is enabled. I have also tried deleting the bluetooth magic mouse plist in my username/Preferences folder. No matter what I do, the gesture won't work.


FYI it did work for a few minutes after installing Lion, but now I get nothing.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7)

I also have this issue and have done the same with deleteing the bluetooth magic mouse plist file. I have also run the terminal command killall Dock and this does not resolve the issue as well.


At this point I am at a lost why this gesture ( or any of them) work with my no so magic mouse 😟


Searching google shows this to be an issue for quite a few people. Would love to see a response from Apple.. otherwise Genius Bar here I come...

The misson control or the two-finger swip to get the widgets does not work on the magic mouse. I have tried all of the things mentioned above but it still doesn't work. The other odd thing is that it works on another account on the same computer/same mouse. I have checked to make sure the preferences are the same on both accounts. I'm at a loss.
