![]() Named Triggers can be configured in the "Other" Tab in BetterTouchTool. You can use the predefined action "More Mouse Buttons & Modifiers / Custom Click" to send separate down/up clicks. You could use a three finger click to trigger a "Middle Mouse Down" and then a "Middle Mouse Up" after the last finger has left the trackpad / Magic Mouse surface. This is very useful if you want to set up e.g. Then after you remove the last finger the named trigger will be executed. However you can still leave your fingers on the trackpad and e.g. if you do a three finger click the default trigger will execute right after the click. If you set a Named Trigger in the advanced settings, it will be executed after you remove the last finger from the trackpad. The second one however is a so called "Named Trigger". It is triggered when the gesture is recognized. The first one is the default action you assign to an action. Starting in version 2.500 you can make a gesture trigger two different actions. Triggering a second action after removing the last touching finger for all click, tip tap and swipe gestures. for Three Finger Taps you won't have any fingers touching the trackpad after the gesture has been triggered. ![]() This doesn't work with all gestures, because e.g. Starting in version 2.500 you can now also choose to repeat the assigned action as long as a finger is still touching the trackpad after the gesture has been triggered. ![]() They can be accessed by clicking the little cog icon on the left of the gesture selection button.įor example you can make the gesture trigger only on specific trackpad types, you can define a haptic feedback or make a HUD (similar to the macOS volume or brightness change indicators) show up when the gesture is triggered. There are some advanced settings you can make use of.

I will keep an eye out for updates on this one. ![]() The new multi-touch interfaces provide more of a development challenge than single-button inputs, but on the USB Overdrive web page the developer has noted multitouch support will be coming soon. I've been a long-time fan of USB Overdrive, since it has allowed me to customize practically every mouse I've owned in virtually every conceivable way. The added gestures include multi-finger sequential tapping combined with individual finger swiping to bring a variety of new functions to the trackpad. Similar to MouseWizard for the Magic Mouse, jitouch provides a number of enhancements to the multi-touch trackpad (though they claim Magic Mouse support is coming soon). TheAppleBlog has some instructions on setting it up for use with the Magic Mouse. While built for the multi-touch trackpads, this application will work with the new Magic Mouse. It gives 'pinch', 'bloat', and 'tap-clicking' behaviors among others to the new mouse, along with alternative function assignments to the various behaviors. MouseWizard is a very cheap ($2.50) mouse driver that adds a number of options to the Magic Mouse. Despite this, it may work for some people and be fun to check out. It is very much a beta testing project (and should probably be considered in "alpha" development) so while it is a fun experiment, expect it to be buggy. This is a small project aimed to enhance the multitouch experience on Snow Leopard machines, both for the trackpad and Magic Mouse. There are a couple of third-party utilities and drivers available (some currently in development), which will offer more input options and customizations for Apple's multitouch devices.
