Got one! So far I can single click. Scrolling and double clicking doesn't seem to be working for me. What am I doing wrong?

Yep! I turned off USB Overdrive and that seems to have helped a little. I can't find any hardware limitations listed. I'm using my MacMini, Mid-2007, Apple refurbished, Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, OS 10.7.5, 2 GB RAM.

Hey! I got one too!
I'm going to wait until tomorrow to set it up though.
But first, I must digest… wink

And the USB pairing is consummated? There's no hardware limitation that I know of because its a software driven thing, and 10.7 is fine with it. Jim will know!

Meaning what? What is not still working?

Uninstall USB OD totally if something is still broken, the uninstaller is in Utilities. Reboot afterwards.

Speaking of Magical Apple devices… I'm very happy with my Logitech M510 mouse. But, as part of my campaign to clean out extraneous apps and doodads, I wouldn't mind deleting the Logitech Unifying software bundle, which includes a pref pane and controllers for their mice and wireless keyboards, and that little USB dongle.

Anyone use a Magic Mouse, and what's your opinion?
