Hello! Increasing the tracking speed of your Magic Mouse beyond the maximum setting in the System Preferences can be quite tricky, but there are a few other options you can try. Here are some suggestions:
1.
Third-Party Apps: You can use third-party apps like "MagicPrefs" or "BetterTouchTool" to customize the tracking speed of your Magic Mouse. These apps provide more advanced options for adjusting the tracking speed and other settings.
2.
Command Line: Apart from the scaling command you mentioned, you can also try using the "defaults write" command in Terminal to adjust the tracking speed. Here's an example command you can use:
Bash:
defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling 5.0
Replace "5.0" with your desired tracking speed value. You may need to log out or restart your Mac for the changes to take effect.
3.
Reset PRAM: Sometimes resetting the PRAM (Parameter RAM) on your Mac can help reset various system settings, including mouse tracking speed. To reset PRAM, restart your Mac and immediately press and hold Command + Option + P + R keys until you hear the startup sound for the second time.
4.
Check Mouse Surface: Ensure that you are using your Magic Mouse on a suitable surface. Using a mouse pad or a smooth surface can improve tracking speed and accuracy.
5.
Firmware Update: Make sure your Magic Mouse firmware is up to date. Sometimes firmware updates can improve performance and settings.
6.
Contact Apple Support: If none of the above methods work, you may consider reaching out to Apple Support for further assistance or troubleshooting steps.
I hope one of these methods helps you increase the tracking speed of your Magic Mouse to your desired level. Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance!
