I have the latest 10.6.2 update but have a question about the tracking speed for the Magic Mouse.
I am happy with the Magic Mouse but the tracking is slower than other mice I'm used to. I have put the tracking at the maximum speed and slower tracking is nice for sometimes clicking just where I need to but when I'm going from one side of the screen to the other it's hard. I also am using it on a mousepad. I know it's not required but seems more comfortable but the mouse goes off the end of the mouse pad when I go across the screen.
Is there any possible way to make the tracking faster? I hope with a future update maybe Apple will make this possible if it's not now.

you could use a third part app such as steermouse, but i hear that causes problems with the magic mouse

I'm with you. It seems a bit on the slow slide for tracking.

I don't find the tracking speed to be that bad, but when you use the mouse on a larger screen like the 27" iMac, you don't get as far as you'd like.
