    Hey,
    I have a need to write a script that changes the mouse settings for a mighty mouse. Doing research I have found how to set the acceleration scaling to speed things up but that’s not enough.

    Currently I’m doing the following to speed the tracking and enable the “right click” functionality.

    defaults write -globalDomain com.apple.mouse.scaling -float 2.0
    defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse Button1 -int 1
    defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse Button2 -int 2

    I need to figure out a couple of things before I’m satisfied.

    1. After setting these preferences how do I get the mouse to pick them up with out logging out or restarting?

    2. I would prefer to set the mouse “tracking” speed to fast instead of modifying the scaling. Who knows the location of this dang setting?

    Any suggestions are welcome..

    Blake
