As a data point, I use Keyboard Maestro for my extra Logitech mouse buttons, since I refuse to install the terrible Logi software.

I love that Logitech has three apps. Logi+, Logi, Ghub. My keyboard only shows up in Ghub. My mice only show up in Logi/Logi+..

Oh, there's at least one more app—Logitech Options.

Which the mouse I bought is supposed to work with, at least according to some people on the internet, but does not for me.

I just wanted to also suggest BetterMouse (https://better-mouse.com). SteerMouse is great, but it lacks the ability to map gestures to the thumb button on the MX Master mice. BetterMouse allows you to do that and has a UI thats a bit more understandable.

Amazing piece of software. This is what software should be: useful, super fast and gets out of the way. These days software is so needy and slow. Looking at you Slack.

The industry has definitely lost an element of craftsmanship and desire to build great software for people.

I’ve been using it for many years, I think it’s one of the oldest alternative mouse driver for Mac. Highly recommended to those who want to avoid the bloated (and now AI powered, for whatever it means) Logitech software.

Does it work with the additional buttons on logi mice?

Yes. It works on all buttons and scrollwheels on all mice I have ever tried (including several Logitech ones).

It works on my Razer mouse that has a freaking 12 number keypad on the side, so I'd bet heavily, and there's a free demo.

Until moving to Windows, this made my mouse on macOS bearable. Removed all accel with 1600 sens so that when I went from macOS for work to Windows for gaming back to macOS for work, I wouldn't lose my mind. Nowadays I just stick to Windows because WSL2 is pretty rad. But SteerMouse saved my sanity for quite a few years.
