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.

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

I'm a happy SteerMouse user, but it should be noted that if all you want to do is flatten out the Acceleration curve then the native System Settings since macOS Sonoma let you disable acceleration.

Great piece of software, used it for years. It’s great knowing you can buy any mouse with whatever buttons and you can make it work just how you want.

That was possible in earlier versions with globalpreferences. The real killer feature is disabling the scroll acceleration.

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+..

Never heard of it until DaringFireball mentioned the other day, which is presumably why it's on HackerNews today. Neat tool. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/05/06/hackett-logitec...
