Magic Mouse Multitouch in Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I'm trying to set up Ubuntu as my daily driver on my 27 inch iMac. Would the solution for the magic trackpad work with the magic mouse as well? This is a work computer, so I don't want to spend too much time tumbling down rabbit holes.

The Magic Mouse works out of the box in 12.04, with right-click, middle-click, left-click, vertical scroll and horizontal scroll. As far as I can tell, more advanced functions (two-finger swipe, three-finger swipe, pinch, and zoom) don't work yet.

I am using one right now. I just connected it via USB bluetooth dongley thingy. (technical term) The only issue right now is that I cannot invert scrolling and scrolling is not that smooth. I am still trying to figure that out. It does work though.
