I have seen posts similar to mine on other sites on the net, but nobody has an answer. So I bought another one, and sure enough, it does it too. My original one that I bought when I got my MBP died a terrible death one day last March when I was in a really bad mood and had had enough of the insane scrolling. This is not my first Magic Mouse to do this. The problem on my MBP has gotten worse over time, so I expect the same thing will happen on the MBA. On my new 11" MacBook Air that I got just a few days ago, it does the same thing, but not nearly as often or as severely (yet). Just last night I was writing some code in Eclipse, and then moved the mouse to click on an item in the menu, and the document I was working on scrolled upward with great intensity at least fifty lines. On my MBP17, the scrolling goes from minor to very pronounced. ![]() It features the MagicMenu, the ability to. MagicPrefs is a toolbar application for OS X which aims to improve the functionality and configuration options of the Apple Magic Mouse. It makes using Google Maps almost impossible, because it is constantly zooming in and out. MagicPrefs is no longer maintained, the functionality it provided was made possible by Api's that are now deprecated and reverse engineered private Apple frameworks. At least half the time, there is some amount of unintended scrolling when I move the mouse. The same thing happens in any app with scrolling, in any direction. It tends to happen more often after I've clicked the mouse button, but it can happen even if I haven't. Likewise if I was on a regular web page that could scroll in any direction, moving the mouse might make the page scroll. If I were to touch the mouse and move it, there's a 50% chance that simply moving the mouse down would cause the text area to scroll down. For example, as I'm sitting here typing this post, there is enough text to scroll vertically. ![]() I have had this problem for almost a year, and since I just got another Mac, and it does it on that machine too (to a lesser degree), I know it has to be software related.
