Part 1. Tips about How to Use a Multi-Button Mouse with Your Mac

The Magic Mouse comes with a touch-sensitive surface without many buttons. So, if you are wondering how to make this mouse multi-button, no worries as the device allow creating primary and secondary clicks along with the commands for the gestures.

Using Keyboard modifier to right-click:

The keyboard modifier allows creating a right-click where you change the primary click on the mouse to the secondary right-click.

Take the cursor over the item on which the right-click is needed and then press and hold the Control key while the keyboard is clicked.
You will now see a context-sensitive menu after which the Control key can be released. Choose the menu option as desired.

Setting right-click on a Mouse:

You can even set-up the right-click function on your Mouse using the below steps:

Select System Preferences from the Apple Menu or through the Dock. Choose the Mouse preference tab.
Depending on the type of Mouse you are using the interface of the preference window will be different. For the Magic Mouse, choose the Point & Click tab and then check the box at a Secondary click. Next, select which side of the Ouse you would wish to use as a Secondary click.

Part 2. How to Change Mouse Speed in Easy Steps

The speed at which the pointer of the mouse moves on the screen and the time it takes between the button press during the double-click on the mouse between the button is termed as the Mouse speed. There is an option to change the Mouse speed as well as the sensitivity if you are not fine with the existing one.

Steps to change the Mouse tracking speed on Mac:

Part 3. How to Fix Mac Mouse keep disconnecting Issues

A lot of users experience an issue where their Mouse keeps disconnecting at random times. If you are among those, listed below are the workaround that might help you to fix the issue. The method of fixing the issue with the Mouse 1 and Mouse 2 will differ as the former uses AA batteries while the latter has a built-in lithium-ion battery.

Method 1: Fixing issue with first-gen Magic Mouse disconnecting:

One of the major reasons for disconnecting issues in the first-gen Magic Mouse is the battery terminal contact inside the Mouse. If there is no power in the Mouse, there will be no Bluetooth connectivity. Thus, check the battery terminal for the proper contacts and see if there are no electrical connection issues. Follow the steps below to check the issue:

First of all, turn the mouse off and then pull the battery cover off by pushing it down. Remove the batteries from the slot.
Take 2 small-sized aluminium foil paper and wrap them around the negative point of each of the battery that will create an extra force between the contact and the battery.
Insert the batteries back into the Mouse and put back the cover.

Generally, this trick works in most of the cases but still if you are facing issues you can try placing the rectangle-shaped paper over the top of the batteries to hold the batteries in place in case if they are loose and not hold tightly by the compartment.
