I figured out a few handy mighty mouse tricks. These may work for other scrolling mouses as well.



Want to scroll slower? Press the Command (Apple) key on the keyboard while scrolling.



Want to go back in browser history? Press Option while scrolling.



Want to zoom in? Press Control while scrolling. This feature should be a lot more useful when Mac OS X is resolution independent.



Want to increase text size in a browser on the fly? Press Control + Option OR Control + Command (Apple) while scrolling.

    The only one of those tips that works on my wireless mighty mouse is the zoom feature.

    It's a firefox thing. If you are using safari it won't work.

    I think any mouse with a scroll wheel/ball. But I haven't test it with anything other than the mighty mouse.
