Software Description

Installing Better Mouse for Mac solves the notorious jerky scrolling and awkward cursor acceleration inherent to non-Apple mice on macOS. Operating silently with less than 1% CPU footprint, BetterMouse gives you precise control over scroll acceleration, discrete notch handling, middle-click pan operations, side button remapping, and custom app-specific gestures without installing bloated background daemons.

Main Features

Butter-Smooth Scroll PhysicsApplies smooth, natural kinetic scrolling to traditional mouse scroll wheels, matching the feel of Apple Trackpads.

Independent Scroll DirectionInvert the wheel scroll direction for your external mouse without affecting the natural scroll orientation of your Mac Trackpad.

Cursor Acceleration ControlsDisable or customize macOS cursor acceleration curves to achieve precise 1:1 pixel tracking for gaming and design work.

Advanced Button & Wheel RemappingRemap side thumb buttons, tilt wheels, and key combos to trigger Mission Control, Spaces switching, or custom hotkeys.

App-Specific Mouse GesturesAssign custom drag gestures and hold actions tailored independently for Safari, Photoshop, Final Cut, or Xcode.

Ultra-Lightweight Resource UsageEngineered in native Swift to run with under 15 MB RAM usage and minimal battery drain on Apple Silicon laptops.
