USB Overdrive is a versatile device driver for macOS that enables advanced configuration and remapping for a wide range of USB and Bluetooth input devices. It allows users to customize button assignments, scrolling behavior, and sensitivity for hardware that may not be fully supported by native system drivers. The tool provides granular control over device functionality, making it essential for power users with non-standard peripherals.

Advanced button remapping and macro capabilities
Per-device sensitivity and scrolling customization
Works with both USB and Bluetooth connected devices
