LinearMouse has released its latest versions, 0.10.1 Beta 3 and 0.10.0, providing macOS users with enhanced mouse customization options. The software allows users to tailor scrolling direction, scrolling acceleration, cursor acceleration, and cursor sensitivity, while also enabling universal functionality for back and forward buttons on mice.
Key Features of LinearMouse include:
1. Reverse Scrolling: Users can reverse the scrolling direction for mice while maintaining the natural scrolling for trackpads, making it convenient for those who use both devices.
2. Linear Scrolling: The software offers a linear scrolling experience by disabling scrolling acceleration, which is particularly beneficial for mice with less smooth wheels, mimicking the scrolling behavior found on Windows.
3. Universal Back & Forward: Many mice have side buttons that do not function properly with certain macOS applications, such as Safari and Xcode. LinearMouse translates these side button clicks into swipe gestures, ensuring that back and forward navigation works seamlessly across most apps.
4. Cursor Acceleration & Sensitivity: While macOS allows limited customization of cursor acceleration through System Preferences, LinearMouse provides more extensive options. Users can adjust both cursor acceleration and sensitivity or disable these features entirely, leading to a more tailored mouse experience.
5. Modifier Keys Functionality: LinearMouse enhances the functionality of modifier keys, allowing users to modify scrolling speed or change the orientation of scrolling.
In summary, LinearMouse is an excellent tool for macOS users looking to optimize their mouse settings and improve their overall user experience. With its array of customization options, it caters to a wide range of user preferences and needs, making it a valuable addition for anyone seeking more control over their mouse performance. Future updates could potentially include more advanced features, such as profile saving for different applications or improved compatibility with a broader range of mice and trackpads
