It looks cool, but there is no screenshot or video of the settings you can configure. The videos show only the effects (scrolling, etc) and not how you can use your mouse or set it up to do it.

Yup! Came to say the same thing. Seems to fix a problem I have, but I have no clue how it does it, and that doesn't pass the threshold for me to install it

The Github repo[0] is listed. Could open an issue for describing how it works.

Kinda unrelated, but has anyone had trouble with using usb wireless mice with the M1 macbooks?

I able to use it on my other intel MacBook without issues…

I used this software for a long time, and it is targeted at people using a regular mouse but still want to have a trackpad ish experience (and making mac more mouse friendly). Things that I used day to day: smooth scrolling, horizontal scrolling, and middle click enhancements. It is free and open source.

This website really struggles to define the problem, it goes straight into the solution. If I have a Magic Mouse do I need this?

> Is Mac Mouse Fix compatible with the Apple Magic Mouse?

> Mac Mouse Fix makes your third party mouse better! But it has no effect on Apple's Magic Mouse.

It looks like this competes with Mos.app[0]. Honestly, I'm not sure how folks use non-magic mice without this. If you use macOS on a desk setup, I still recommend the magic trackpad over everything else; macOS is just designed around trackpads. It might not be the best for ergonomics, but if that's your concern and you work as a programmer, you should just optimize your workflows around the keyboard instead of the mo…

Ah, I see. I use a normal cheap generic gaming mouse with my Mac specifically because I hated the 'magic' mouse and trackpad. I just want a normal mouse that works properly, the same as it does on Windows and Linux machines, without automagically doing stuff I didn't want it to do.

I really despise hidden secret swipe controls and the double/triple tap thing.

What do you mean by wireless usb?

I'd assume they mean the mice that connect to the PC via Bluetooth, but you have to connect a separate (tiny) USB to the PC first in order for the two to connect.

I just turn those things off. I've never found a mouse with a touch surface as nice as the MM, though (just for normal scrolling).
