What it does

Customize scrolling direction, pointer acceleration, pointer speed, and more for your mouse and trackpad.

Different device. Different app. Different display. LinearMouse keeps every control exactly where it belongs. Keep natural scrolling on your trackpad, reverse it on your mouse, and tune every direction until it feels effortless. Fine-tune acceleration and speed, snap back to system defaults, or turn acceleration off completely for steady, predictable precision. Remap buttons and scroll actions to shortcuts, media controls, Mission Control, and gesture-driven workflows that keep youfrom linearmouse.app
