Keep separate settings for a Magic Mouse and your other mice

A Magic Mouse scrolls with a swipe on its surface while a regular mouse uses a wheel, so the scroll direction and speed that feel natural differ. macOS still applies the same values to both. EasyMouse stores settings for each device and automatically applies the settings of the mouse you moved last.

Set it up in EasyMouse.

  1. Install EasyMouse and grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions.

  2. Select the Magic Mouse in the device list and set its tracking speed, pointer acceleration and scroll direction.

  3. Select your other mouse and set the same items separately, for example reversed scrolling on the wheel mouse and natural scrolling on the Magic Mouse.

  4. In App Settings, check that "Auto-switch to the last moved mouse" is on, then move each mouse in turn to confirm its own settings apply.

Before you start.

Magic Mouse surface gestures such as swipes follow macOS System Settings. EasyMouse handles per-device speed, acceleration, scrolling and button settings.

  • 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 both mice stay connected?

Yes. Both are recognized, and the settings of the one you moved last apply.

Is the trackpad kept separate too?

Yes. The built-in trackpad keeps its own settings as a separate device.

Can two Magic Mice have different settings?

Yes. Settings are stored per device, so even two of the same model can be tuned separately.
