Download SteerMouse 5.6.1 (Mac) – Download Free

manipulate the mouse is a small but powerful System Preferences pane utility that lets you adjust mouse button effects, scroll speed, mouse sensitivity, and more.

The installation process is simple (the archive contains an installer package), but keep in mind that you must restart your Mac to complete the process.

Unobtrusive utility for adjusting mouse behavior

Even though the SteerMouse modification is applied system-wide, the application runs in the background and does not show its presence without an explicit user request.

However, the System Preferences pane makes it easy to launch an application’s main window and perform various performance modifications.

It’s worth noting that you also have the opportunity to use different mouse settings for specific applications. All you have to do is add the target application to the preset list and make the necessary adjustments. Of course, SteerMouse also retains default presets that apply to the entire system.

Easily customize mouse buttons, cursor sensitivity or scroll speed

SteerMouse customization is divided into 4 main tabs: Buttons, Wheel, Tilt Wheel, and Cursor. This way, in the first panel, you can quickly change the action that each mouse button triggers: input shortcut, scroll action, cursor action, switch apps, click action, open, mission control, or no action.

Different wheel movements can trigger the same action, including leaning. Last but not least, you can change the scroll wheel scroll speed, and also the cursor tracking speed or sensitivity.

Simple yet powerful utility for personalizing your mouse behavior

SteerMouse is a great tool if you’re looking for a way to trigger specific actions with the mouse. The app can use mouse devices connected via USB or Bluetooth, but keep in mind that the Apple Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad are not supported.
