Mac OS X - Magic Mouse - increasing the scroll speed

Question

I have a Magic Mouse on my iMac and I am using BetterTouchTool. How do I increase the scrolling speed? I want to scroll more swiping smaller distances...

I want to set the scrolling more than the maximum possible at the preference values.

Probably I will need some sort of terminal command.

thanks

Answer 1

You can apply a custom acceleration value: defaults write -g com.apple.scrollwheel.scaling -float <float> and relogin.

The scale seems to be roughly linear and to not have any practical maximum limit.

Editing the NSGlobalDomain plist in a text editor: f=~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist; cp $f $f-; plutil -convert xml1 $f; open -a TextEdit $f

At least in 15.1.1 Sequoia, I didn't have any luck setting in the terminal with com.apple.scrollwheel.scaling, though perhaps my float was too small?

Anyhow, hat tip to this Reddit post, the free app LinearMouse allows you to set values with a GUI.
