Using the Magic Mouse with Autodesk Maya on Mavericks

A while back I traveled abroad to attend a conference on animation and of course I brought my (heavy) Mac Book Pro with me. At the airport, I realized that I forgot to pack a mouse and since I recalled manipulating the Maya viewports through my touch pad, I decided to buy a mouse.

After purchasing my very first Magic Mouse, I was in for a surprise, cause basic things that I was used to (left, middle and right mouse click) were now replaced by swipes and just a left mouse click. Since the default configuration of the magic mouse doesn't allow you to configure left/middle/right clicks, I googled for some tips and found MagicPrefs.
