A summary, not legal advice.

WHY IT MATTERS

macOS gives trackpads great gestures but leaves mice out. Mac Mouse Fix lets any USB or Bluetooth mouse assign trackpad-level actions — Mission Control, Spaces, Smart Zoom — to its scroll wheel and extra buttons.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • A single preferences app that lives in the menu bar. A per-button mapping screen lets you assign click, scroll and drag actions, with adjustable smooth-scrolling and zoom sensitivity.

WHO IT'S FOR

Mac users who want trackpad-level convenience from a cheap mouse, or who want mouse buttons mapped their own way.

START IN 5 MINUTES

# Download the app from macmousefix.com, grant Accessibility permission when prompted, and assign actions in the Buttons tab.

CAVEATS

  • The source is open but uses a custom "MMF License" — you may build on it, but any derivative must keep the same licensing/monetization code intact and can't be resold.
