Anyone using Apple Magic Mouse with Reason? It's driving me crazy

[mark999]

I bought an "Apple Magic Mouse 2" recently. It's a nice mouse but it seems to be too sensitive when being used with Reason.
When I'm in the sequencer, I'm constantly (and unintentionally) scrolling left and right when I don't want to. When drawing midi notes into clips, I'm always (unintentionally) scrolling slightly left or right when i don't want to.
It seems that any slight touch on the top of the mouse makes the whole sequencer/window/etc move much more than it should. I've adjusted the scrolling speed in the mouse settings, but the problem is not the scrolling speed, it's the overall sensitivity of the top of the mouse. Even when my fingers are just resting on top of the mouse, things start moving on screen. Super frustrating.

Is anyone using their Apple Magic Mouse with Reason without any of my issues?

I have v1 and have the same problem, it's super-annoying. For example when I click and hold to move a note in the sequencer or change a parameter in the rack it often scrolls at the same time, making it damn near impossible to do a simple thing like placing the midi note at the correct place. I've never noticed this behaviour outside reason.

Yeah it's not a Reason problem, I find it incredibly annoying in Logic too. So much so that I now bring my own mouse to a friend's place when we work together on her iMac. I think you can disable the left/right scrolling but that's not ideal either. In general I hate not having a physical scroll wheel.

I had a Magic Mouse in my macbook area and sold it as fast as I could do.

While I absolutely love the magic trackpads, I never “bonded” with the Magic Mouse. One problem for me was I always grabbed it too hard, triggering secondary functions TOO easily.

One of the biggest complaints seems to be that unlike the trackpads, you cannot charge the mouse while using it due to the location of the charging port.

Are you a trackpad person? You may prefer it if you relate to pads…

Ditto on the trackpad. I use one all the time and the gestures help with Reason, especially since I usually have a separate screen for Mixer, sequencer and rack.

Trackpad for the win. Every other 'trackpad' I've used for PC Laptops are dogshit, the Mac one is pretty much better than a mouse. I do have a magic mouse but haven't used it much for reason

Its Called MagicPrefs.
Only thing is, you have to use two fingers to scroll in other windows now.
At least it dosen't twitch out in Reason now
