EasyMousefor MacSet up a gaming mouse on Mac: speed, acceleration and side buttons
Plug a gaming mouse from a Windows setup into a Mac and pointer acceleration often makes the same hand movement travel different distances, while the side buttons do nothing. EasyMouse saves acceleration, speed and button settings for that mouse only, leaving your trackpad and other mice untouched.
Set it up in EasyMouse.
Install EasyMouse, grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions, then select the gaming mouse in the device list.
Turn off pointer acceleration and set the tracking speed. If the right value is hard to find, use Match pointer feel to tune it against real movement.
In button settings, assign Back/Forward or your own shortcuts to the side buttons.
If you play across several monitors, use MouseLock to keep the cursor on the game screen, and test the Escape temporary release first.
Before you start.
On-mouse settings such as hardware DPI are supported only on some Logitech and ELECOM models. Other mice are tuned through macOS-side speed and acceleration, and EasyMouse does not replace every feature of vendor software.
- Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
- Runs on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Macs.
- One universal build supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
- Please allow EasyMouse under Accessibility and Input Monitoring in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Please check these permissions again if macOS asks after an update.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different speed only while gaming?
Yes. Add the game as an app condition in automatic settings to apply different speed and button settings only while it is in use.
Do my usual settings come back when I switch mice?
Yes. Settings are stored per device, and with auto-switching on, the mouse you moved last gets its own settings.
Can I change the mouse DPI?
Hardware DPI can be changed only on supported Logitech and ELECOM models. For other mice, tracking speed sets the effective sensitivity.
