About Mac Mouse Fixer

An independent, local-first utility designed to make third-party mice feel native and reliable on macOS.

The Problem We Solve

macOS is optimized for Apple trackpads and the Magic Mouse. When connecting a standard external USB or Bluetooth mouse from Logitech, Razer, Microsoft, Zowie, or other manufacturers, macOS often provides jarring notched scrolling, lacks trackpad-like pinch-to-zoom gestures, and fails to handle mechanical switch chatter.

Over time, mechanical mouse switches develop wear that causes a single physical click to register as two or more electrical signals (the infamous double-click bug). Instead of throwing away an expensive mouse, Mac Mouse Fixer introduces an ultra-low latency software debounce filter that eliminates phantom clicks while preserving intentional rapid clicking.

Key Capabilities

  • •Click debounce: Configurable microsecond-accurate debounce timer (10ms to 1000ms, default 200ms) that prevents worn switches from double-clicking.
  • •Smooth Momentum Scrolling: Transforms stepped mouse wheel movement into buttery-smooth scrolling matching the macOS trackpad physics.
  • •Command + Scroll Wheel Zoom: Smoothly zoom in and out across design tools like Figma, web browsers, and productivity apps using your mouse wheel.
  • •Shift + Scroll Horizontal Navigation: Navigate wide spreadsheets, video timelines, and large codebases with simple horizontal wheel scrolling.
  • •Broad Compatibility: Fully supports macOS 12.0 Monterey through macOS 15+ Sequoia on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.

Independent & Local-First Philosophy

Mac Mouse Fixer is built by David Tran, an independent software developer. The application is written in native Swift using macOS Core Graphics event taps for minimal CPU and memory usage.

We believe utilities should be private and respect user autonomy:

100% Local Execution

The app runs entirely on your Mac. Mouse events and click timings never leave your hardware.
