The only confusing part is how to set presets without needing to access the Preferences and changing it. I want it to just automatically turn on if I launch an app. It doesn't seem to do so for Call of Duty or Skyrim. I'll dig around and see if there's info about this.

But the only way I found to have the gesture work *consistently* is to enable all 3 and 4 finger gestures - up, down, left and right - to invoke the App Switcher. Then, you need to disable pretty much all of Apple's 3 and 4 finger gestures from the Trackpad settings under the System Preferences menu. This is no loss, because those gestures just switch to the useless Mission Control and widgets screen, which no one would ever seriously want to use anyway, much less have a shortcut for.
You have to do both though - the utility doesn't seem quite as precise as the old gesture used to be - if there are competing 3 and 4 finger swiping gestures, even if they're different, i.e. up or down instead of left or right - MagicPrefs will sometimes miss your swiping and that's just frustrating.
But until Apple brings back the 3 finger App Switcher swipe - presumably around when they realize how useless Mission Control is - MagicPrefs is the best answer I've found for MacBook users to get back this essential gesture.

The software keeps saying "no mouse" when it is there.
I'm running 10.7.1 on a new mini

A fine app, but sure wish the Developer had held onto 10.6.x support a wee bit longer. :)

"You can't open the application "MagicPrefs.app" because it is not supported on this architecture."
The app's icon is a generic icon with a white circle with a slash across it. It looks like this:

I am running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. My specs are:
iMac 24" Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz (early 2009)
4 GB DDR3 1067 MHz RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4850
640 GB hard drive (492.25 GB free)
I just bought a Magic Mouse and wanted to add some functionalities till I upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Thank you for any input you might have.

Yes I did install the drivers. But what I'll do is try to reapply the Apple drivers and see if this takes my any further towards success.

The only issue I'm having is that if I enable two-finger-click for the middle button, it sends my left-click all the way to the outside edge of the mouse, which is annoying to say the least.
One-finger middle button seems to work fine.
Anyone else having this issue, or is something wrong with my mouse?
Also, would it be possible to add a whole hand cover option to activate sleeping of the computer, or display? Another program has this feature but I prefer MagicPrefs, far less buggy :)
