BetterTouchTool

Following up my earlier review of the magic mouse, and thanks to Don in the comments for pointing it out, BetterTouchTool is a small application for OS X that gives you a third mouse click with the Magic Mouse. It does more than that though. It allows you to do all sorts of custom gestures. For example, now If I put my whole hand on the mouse for a second it brings up the application switcher, and swiping down with two fingers is the equivalent of hitting the end key. It’s pretty cool and worth checking out if you have a magic mouse.

I’m really impressed with Apple’s product launches yesterday. I don’t ever recall Apple launching so many products in one day before. Even when they used to launch stuff during Macworld Expo. They’ve really out done themselves with this one. Here’s everything that they brought out yesterday:

  1. New iMacs
  2. New Mac Mini
  3. Mac Mini Server
  4. New Magic Mouse
  5. New MacBook
  6. New Remote
  7. Updated Airport Express
  8. Updated Time Capsule
  9. Updated Wireless Keyboard
