Make any mouse feel right on a Mac.

What’s inside

• Mouse scroll direction

  Reverse scrolling for mice while the trackpad stays natural.

• Smooth scrolling

  Give your mouse wheel a fluid glide, with adjustable speed. Or pick linear scrolling, where every notch moves the same distance.

• No mouse acceleration

  The pointer moves exactly as far as your mouse does.

• Side buttons and button shortcuts

  Back and Forward in Finder, browsers and more, and keys or gestures on any extra button.

• Middle click and sideways scroll

  Press with three fingers on the trackpad to middle-click, and hold a key to scroll sideways.

• Focus follows mouse

  Bring the window under the pointer forward after a short pause.

• Fixes for worn hardware

  Ignore accidental double clicks from a worn mouse button and repeated letters from a worn keyboard.

• Super key, Quit and Close protection

  Turn Caps Lock into a shortcut key, and hold ⌘Q or ⌘W so a stray press never closes your work.

How to reverse mouse scrolling but not the trackpad

1. 1

   Open Overswan's Settings and choose Keyboard and mouse.

2. 2

   Turn on Mouse scroll direction.

3. 3

   Your mouse wheel scrolls the other way, and the trackpad stays natural.

Questions

Can I reverse scrolling for the mouse only?

macOS uses one setting for both. Overswan reverses the mouse wheel and leaves the trackpad as it is.

Will these change how my Mac works by default?

No. Tools that change how your Mac behaves start switched off. Turn on the ones you want.

Does it work with any mouse?

Yes, any mouse with a wheel and extra buttons that macOS sees, wired or Bluetooth.

How do I turn off mouse acceleration on a Mac?

Turn on No mouse acceleration in Overswan's Keyboard and mouse settings. The pointer then moves exactly as far as your mouse does.
