Is SensibleSideButtons good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices

  Oh awesome, so that's why Logitech mice work so much better than other mice in macOS. Cool project: https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Mac Mouse Fix: Do the things you do on a trackpad. Without a trackpad

  I use SensibleSideButtons for all my mouse customization needs (which aren't much) https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• I Use My Mouse

  On macOS, I use SensibleSideButtons to map my Logitech mouse side buttons to Swipe Right and Swipe Left. This works as a generic Forwards/Back in lots of places: Safari, Firefox, Finder, iTerm2. Unfortunately the app appears to be abandoned (no Apple Silicon builds), but if there's interest I will resurrect it. https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• About to set up my 16" MBP as my main computer! Any suggested applications/tools/settings to make the most out of the general use of the MBP? Mainly, I’ll be editing 4K video for serious usage. This computer is a dream come true! I can finally improve my workflow from an older (2017) Windows desktop

  SensibleSideButtons (free) — again if you have a mouse with side buttons this will hook them up to back/forward. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Winter setup

  Out of the box, the scrolling felt quite off, even with Logitech’s new beta s/w. I found that the smooth scroll would also stop working from time to time which can get quite frustrating. Luckily there’s a bunch of great indie s/w like Mos, SteerMouse, Mac Mouse Fix, and Sensible Side Buttons that path some of the shortcomings. Source: almost 4 years ago

• SteerMouse, the first thing I install on every Mac to fix mouse input in MacOS

  Great software. I use Sensible Side Buttons for basically the same purposes. Source: about 4 years ago

• Who is the MacOS for?

  External mice work just fine up to 3 buttons and a scroll wheel. Beyond that you need to either have a mouse with a Mac-specific driver or use SensibleSideButtons (https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/). I strongly recommend Logitech MX Master 3, it works great on macOS, Windows and Linux. The former two have first part support, the latter through Solaar. Source: about 4 years ago

• Solution for LogiOptions+ on Mac causing input delay lag and high CPU usage

  However, with mice that have back/forward buttons, you'll need to install Sensible Side Buttons App for those buttons to work. Source: over 4 years ago

• Do most macOS users like these behaviours of macOS?

  Chrome has actually got support built-in for the back and forward buttons, but I don't know any other app in macOS that does. I also have a mouse that has those buttons and am a fervent user. To get them working for all apps I use SensibleSideButtons. Source: over 4 years ago

• How do I get the top row of Back and Forward buttons to work on a Mac?

• Scrolling with a third-party mouse on macOS looks horrible

  100%. I wanted to create a second blog post specifically about the side buttons (I'm using SensibleSideButtons). It feels so weird to me that we need to use third-party software for this :/. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Sensible Side buttons on Mac instead of LGHub

  DPI Up/Down -> 'Switching workspaces' (Ctrl + left/right) DPI shift button -> 'showing all windows'. (Ctrl + UP) All this was achieved by installing https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/ The DPI shift button now shows opens find window which is fine with me. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Kensington v1.5.0 Only Works With Big Sur 11.4
