It can be used as a single-touch or multi-touch device in Ubuntu by pairing it using the Bluetooth utilities in Ubuntu. The following setup instructions only need to be followed once, then Ubuntu will recognize the Magic Mouse without further configuration.

Step 3: Download and Install Magic Mouse Utility. In order to get advanced features like natural scrolling and a usable battery gauge, you will want to download the Magic Mouse Utilities software. This utility will need to run in the background at all times in order for all your Magic Mouse features to work. To enable/disable the Alt-Cmd key swapping edit the DWORD key value: HKEYLOCALMACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services WinAppleKey SwapAltCmd. The default value is 0 (off). To enable/disable the Fn-Ctrl key swapping edit the DWORD key value: HKEYLOCALMACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services WinAppleKey SwapFnCtrl. The default value is 1 (on). The serial number for Magic is available. This release was created for you, eager to use Magic Utilities 5.5 full and without limitations. Our intentions are not to harm Magic software company but to give the possibility to those who can not pay for any piece of software out there. Although they are kinda spendy, Apple hardware is great and I really like the buttonless, bluetooth Magic Mouse. I started using one with my Windows laptop and was surprised at the lack of info on the interwebs about getting the scrolling to work. Found some paid software for full support but, come on, it’s just a mouse driver.

Note: This has been tested in Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) only.

Pairing the Magic Mouse

Once you have inserted batteries in your Magic Mouse, if your system is Bluetooth-capable and its radio is enabled, go to System > Preferences > Bluetooth and click on Setup new device.... Once the Bluetooth setup dialog opens, you should see you mouse listed. Click once on it, then choose 'PIN options..'. Make sure '0000' is selected under 'Fixed PIN':

Clicking Forward should then complete the pairing, which Ubuntu will remember.

The Magic Mouse can be forced in pairing mode by turning it off and on again (the 'on' position will show green color in the switch position).

Once the device has been connected once or moved from another system, you can force pairing again by going to the Bluetooth applet and choosing Apple Wireless Mouse > Connect (if a PIN is asked, you can provide 0000 as the PIN code and press Enter to pair the mouse):

Once these steps have been completed the mouse will remain available in Ubuntu.

Problem: Pairing does not persist between reboots on Maverick (10.10)

If you find that you are not being prompted to 'Always grant access' (refer to the Apple Magic Trackpad article) and that the device is not available after a reboot (i.e., you have to reconnect), try adding the pincode for the device (0000) to /var/lib/bluetooth/<physical_device_ID>/pincodes, like so:

In a terminal:

Determine the physical (model-specific) and unique device IDs from the output of lsinput (from the 'input-tools' package) as shown below.
Create /lib/bluetooth/<physical_ID>/pincodes as the root user (or with sudo): Add this line to the new file, save, and exit:
where <physical_ID> is a backslash-escaped physical device ID, like D8:30:62:38:18:02, and <unique_ID> is your device's unique ID, both from the output of lsinput.

Multitouch status

Finding your input device

Once your mouse has been paired, the hid_magicmouse module should automatically load. To verify this, issue the following command from a terminal:

Here is example output for lsinput (from the 'input-tools' package) with a Magic Mouse present (other irrelevant input device removed):

In this case the input device would be /dev/input/event7. The input device number would be 7.

For more information on testing this device for multi-touch support, see Multitouch/Testing.

Installing PyMT and configuring it

To experiment multi-touch capabilities of the Apple Magic Mouse, you can try using PyMT, an open source library for developing multi-touch applications. You will need the device name as ound aboce (in this example, /dev/input/event7). See the Ubuntu PyMT documentation for this.
