Answer # Does Clacky work with a Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad? Yes. Clacky plays a click sound and draws a ripple for every press and release on a Magic Mouse, a Magic Trackpad or a MacBook trackpad, tap to click and two-finger right clicks included. Scrolling works too. A trackpad or Magic Mouse scrolls smoothly instead of in notches, so Clacky plays one soft tick per stretch of scrolling, and you set how long that stretch is.

So every one of them plays the press sound, then the release sound, with a ripple under the pointer. Left, right and other clicks can each have their own ripple colour. On a Force Touch trackpad the click you feel is made by a small motor, not a hinge. Clacky plays its sound on top of that. Why the trackpad works that way is in [why a MacBook trackpad clicks without moving](https://clacky.app/blog/why-macbook-trackpad-clicks-without-moving/). ## How scrolling sounds on each device Device What macOS sends What Clacky plays Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, MacBook trackpad A smooth stream of small movements, plus momentum after you lift your fingers One tick per stretch of scrolling you set with the Trackpad slider A mouse with a notched wheel One event per notch One tick per notch Sideways scrolling on any of them The same, on the other axis Ticks the same way ## Tune scroll ticks for a Magic Mouse or trackpad 1. Open Clacky and go to the **Scroll** section of the sound settings. Press **⌘K** and type Scroll if you can’t find it. 2. Pick a style: Match click, Fine tick, Ratchet, Wheel detent, Soft tap, Bubble, Zipper or Rotary. Silent turns the ticks off and keeps the clicks. 3. Move the **Trackpad** slider (Scrolling per tick on a trackpad or Magic Mouse) toward **More** for more ticks or **Fewer** for fewer. It goes from 30 to 150 points of scrolling per tick, and starts at 70. 4. Use **Density** (Every notch, Every 2nd or Every 3rd) to thin the ticks out further. 5. Turn on **Speed pitch** if you like the ticks to rise a little as you scroll faster. ## Things Clacky never changes Clacky only listens. It can’t change, delay or block a click or a scroll, so your trackpad speed, gestures and Force Click settings in System Settings stay exactly as they are. If Clacky ever stopped, clicking would carry on as normal. ## Questions ### Does tap to click make a sound? Yes. macOS reports a tap as a normal click, so Clacky plays the press and release sounds and draws a ripple. ### Why do scroll ticks keep going after I lift my fingers? That’s momentum scrolling: macOS keeps scrolling the page for a moment, and Clacky ticks along with it. Move the Trackpad slider toward Fewer if it feels busy. ### Does Clacky change my trackpad settings? No. It only listens to what macOS reports and can’t change, delay or block anything.
