  2. Advanced driver for USB and Bluetooth mouses.
    I’m eager to try this out, but you might also want to check out Steermouse[1], which is a utility it took me years longer to discover than it should have. I’m not sure how it stacks up to this open source project, but it’s definitely been worth the license cost to me over the years. [1] https://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/.

  3. A simple way to make your 3rd party mouse better.
    Nice! I've been using Mac Mouse Fix (https://mousefix.org/), which is also open source, to handle inverting my mouse wheel and remapping the back/forward buttons, but LinearMouse looks quite a bit more featureful.

    Smooze animates your scroll and adds functionality to your non-Apple mouse (scroll-wheel mouse).
    I've used Smooze [1] in the past. It has a ton of features, but I really just need it for turning off mouse acceleration and making the scroll wheel usable. Glad to see an open source option. [1] https://smooze.co/.

    Not to take away from this app, but I’ve been using Mos (https://mos.caldis.me) for a couple of years now and it’s been just enough to mitigate the faults I had with default mouse settings in macOS.

  8. A remote control for you Mac, using your iPhone or iPad
    > Unpopular opinion, but I like the Magic Mouse I've always liked the Magic Mouse. > The thing with the Magic Mouse is the touch sensor on top! Being able to swipe and scroll horizontally and vertically This is such an underrated feature; I use it constantly. But there's more it can do; Better Touch Tool lets you configure gestures to your heart's content [1]. [1]: https://folivora.ai.
