Can't disable Magic Mouse 2 scrolling

Yes, I am using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and the pasteboard is swinging all over the place! Inertia scrolling and zooming when I'm trying to work on a subject.

With El Capitan 10.11.6 there isn't an option to fix it in System Preferences – Accessibility – Mouse & Trackpad....

So, try this. Go to: Applications – Utilities (command, Shift, U is shortcut to the Applications – Utilities folder), scroll down to 'Terminal', double click it and copy and paste this code into the folder:

defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchMouse MouseMomentumScroll -bool NO

You might need to enter your password to make it 'stick' in there.

Once done. close down and restart the Mac. when back up, switch off MM2 and then switch the mouse back on.

It worked for me, and I can stop swearing at the mouse when using Illustrator and Photoshop, although scrolling is now a bit sluggish and 'sticky' when browsing.

Seems like this is a bug in 10.11 with the Magic Mouse 2. The original MM will still allow disabling scrolling in the Accessibility Pref panel, but with the Magic Mouse 2, it is missing.

Hello, I have the same problem. It is a system bug, it's very uncomfortable ... a few days ago came 10.11.2 beta I installed if solved the bug, but unfortunately does not help.

😟

either a bug or a great big oversite that some people actually use the mouse to do an actual job.... when in the world would i want it to move everything i was working on off the screen just cause i happen to rest my finger on the bloody thing... DOH! apple say its working right - yes if you like gadget toys that impress 10 year olds while wearing a apple shirt in a big shiny shop.... not when you need to make a living using one - apple make a mouse that works - does what its supposed to do - maybe i should dig that round one you designed for the original iMac - DOH!! - if any one does work out how to turn it off - please post- many thanks

I'm angry with Apple...

I'm waiting two month to resolve this problem Apple...

I need a patch now for this... inertia for design and photography is very bad.

Found solution.

defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchMouse MouseVerticalScroll -bool NO

it does not work 😟

It works for me. Reconnect mouse. Reboot

But this makes the scroll turned off, what I want is to disable scrolling with inertia

Solved scroll inertia with:

defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchMouse MouseMomentumScroll -bool NO

Thank you 😀
