About:
LinearMouse is a lightweight utility for macOS that allows users to customize their mouse behavior beyond system defaults. It provides granular control over scrolling direction, pointer acceleration, and button mappings. The tool is particularly valuable for users of gaming mice or non-Apple hardware who need more precise input customization.
Key Features:
  • Reverse or disable scrolling direction independently of trackpad settings
  • Adjust pointer acceleration curves for more precise control
  • Remap mouse buttons to different functions or keyboard shortcuts
  • Per-device configuration support
  • Minimal system footprint with native performance
Use Cases:
  • Customizing gaming mice for productivity workflows on macOS
  • Fixing scrolling direction conflicts between mouse and trackpad
  • Creating consistent input behavior across multiple pointing devices
Alternatives:
  • SteerMouse – Commercial alternative with more features but paid license required
  • USB Overdrive – Legacy utility with broader device support but less modern UI
