Magic Mouse 2 Ubuntu

Description

This repository contains a Bash script for enabling scroll functionality on the Magic Mouse 2 in Ubuntu. The script utilizes parameters for the hid-magicmouse module to emulate scroll wheel behavior, middle click functionality, and adjust scroll acceleration and speed.

Usage

1. Create the Script:

   • Create a file named scroll.sh and paste the following content:

     #!/bin/bash
     sudo modprobe -r hid-magicmouse
     sudo modprobe hid-magicmouse emulate_scroll_wheel=Y emulate_3button=Y middle_click_3finger=Y scroll_acceleration=Y scroll_speed=12

   • Ensure the script has executable permissions.

2. Move the Script:

   • Move the scroll.sh script to the user's root folder ~/ using the mv command:

     mv scroll.sh ~/scroll.sh

3. Add an Alias to .bashrc:

   • Open the .bashrc file in a text editor (e.g., nano or vim):

     nano ~/.bashrc

   • Add the following line at the end of the file:

     alias scroll='~/scroll.sh'

   • Save the changes and exit the text editor.

4. Execute the Script:

   • Once the Magic Mouse 2 is connected using bluetooth, open a terminal and type scroll to execute the script. This will enable the configured scroll functionality for the device.

Note

• The script must be executed with sudo or as a user with sufficient permissions to load/unload kernel modules.
• Adjust parameters in the script (emulate_scroll_wheel, emulate_3button, middle_click_3finger, scroll_acceleration, scroll_speed) as needed to customize mouse behavior.
