Does the mouse suddenly stop working when the system only recently reported that they had plenty of charge, or does the system report that they are empty even though the mouse is working fine? Or is it more random than that? I actually keep a spare pair of fully charged cells so if the mouse crapped out unexpectedly I could just do a swap rather than waiting while they recharge, but I can't say I have noticed incorrect charge level reporting.

Only later did I think "wait a minute, that's not right". Double-click is bog standard with the Magic Mouse. Davoud, did you mean to say "middle-click"? Ian -- Ian Gregory http://www.zenatode.org.uk/
