BetterMouse 1.7.9059 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesBetterMouse is a lightweight mouse and keyboard utility for Mac that improves how third-party mice behave on macOS. It is a popular alternative to heavy vendor software such as Logitech Options: instead of installing drivers or extensions, it is a regular notarised app that gives you smooth scrolling, precise cursor speed and acceleration control, and powerful bindings for mouse buttons and keyboard keys. It is particularly well suited to mice like the Logitech MX Master series.
Key Features
- Smooth, configurable scrolling for third-party mice, including separate wheel settings
- Cursor speed and acceleration controls that go beyond the macOS settings
- Custom bindings for extra mouse buttons, gestures and keyboard shortcuts
- Per-application settings so a mouse can behave differently in different apps
- Lightweight and Apple-notarised, with no drivers, kernel extensions or login agents installed

FAQs
Is BetterMouse free?
It offers a free trial with full functionality for a limited period. After the trial, it is a one-time purchase for lifetime use rather than a subscription, according to the developer.
Does it only work with Logitech mice?
No. It is designed for third-party mice in general, not just one brand, and it also lets you assign functions to keys on any connected keyboard, including a MacBook's built-in keyboard.
