3 & 4 Finger Gestures Expose Spaces with Apple Magic Mouse

I am able to map out three and four finger gestures on the Apple MagicMouse to trigger Expose (3 finger tap) and spaces (4 finger swipe up and down) using a program called BetterTouchTool. Because of the width of the magic mouse you can see 4 finger swipes are kind of weak, you have to have your fingers on the surface just right for it to register although I am becoming more successful with practice.

Also, using synergy to share a single mouse/keyboard with an additional monitor attached to a PC.

@bocaj, @dagoodfellaz Check out Synergy KM. Great tool.

I find four fingered swipes slightly difficult on the magic mouse, I use three fingered swipes in any direction to switch spaces.

Better touch tool is a brilliant piece of software. It's turned my magic mouse from a novelty that came with my imac to mouse that is actually incredibly useful and natural-feeling.

Do a google search. Bettertouchtool is one word.

Yes. But if you want to change the two finger swipe left or right you have to go to the mouse preferences and make sure that the checkbox under Two Fingers is NOT checked. You can only use the Magic Mouse pad and in General you have the click that you have a Mac/Macbook without a trackpad (in BTT)

But this application is just great. It really shows off what the thing can do. Basically, considering multi-touch devices are software powered, it can do almost anything.
