    Currently there is no way to do it GUI-way system wide. See this for some workarounds: http://askubuntu.com/questions/27270/ In web browsers, it can be set separately (Firefox, Chromium/Chrome). – pileofrocks Feb 28 '13 at 00:15

At the moment only way is setup it directly in hid_magicmouse driver.

For testing run:

sudo rmmod hid_magicmouse
# scroll-speed value from 0 (slow) to 63 (fast):
sudo modprobe hid_magicmouse scroll-speed=45 scroll-acceleration=1

For permanent settings put to the /etc/modprobe.d/magicmouse.conf this:

options hid_magicmouse scroll-speed=45 scroll-acceleration=1

  • any other elegant way to change it instead of using command? – 王子1986 Mar 25 '13 at 06:44

    There's nothing more elegant as the command line :-) – igracia Aug 14 '15 at 09:44
  • @王子1986 Of cause there is. create a text file at /etc/modprobe.d/hid_magicmouse.conf with following lines: options hid_magicmouse scroll_speed=50 options hid_magicmouse scroll_acceleration=1, the module will be loaded with specified options. – Meow Dec 18 '16 at 16:42
  • Thanks for the solution. I am using Ubuntu 20.04. The mouse is detected and the scroll is working. But the permanent setting is not working. Is there any other elegant way to make the settings permanent? – Raja Parivesh Oct 02 '20 at 04:37

You can also write to the parameters via the /sys kernel interface:

$ ls /sys/module/hid_magicmouse/parameters/
emulate_3button  emulate_scroll_wheel  report_undeciphered  scroll_acceleration  scroll_speed
$ cat /sys/module/hid_magicmouse/parameters/scroll_speed
45
$ echo N | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_magicmouse/parameters/scroll_acceleration 
N
