Sadly, though, folks with Mac OS X 10.5.8 installed on their computers are not able to take advantage of momentum scrolling – at least not by default. And while it may seem like a trivial gimmick at first, it’s actually one of the best features of Apple’s new wireless mouse. Bringing this kind of natural movement to the Mac is one of the Magic Mouse’s biggest features. For example, when you flick your finger to scroll through a long list or page, the content flies by at first and then gets slower before coming to a stop. Apple only officially supports momentum scrolling in 10.6, but a simple hack can bring 10.5 users up to speed too.įor those of you who are wondering, momentum scrolling is the term used to describe the fancy fast/slow scrolling style seen on the iPhone. Magic Mouse owners who are still running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard have been left out in the cold.
