EasyMousefor MacChange Logitech mouse DPI on Mac
macOS has no mouse DPI setting, and changing it usually means installing the maker's app. EasyMouse sets hardware DPI per device on some Logitech mice (HID++ and Bolt receivers). On mice it does not support, you can match the feel with per-device pointer speed and acceleration instead.
Set it up in EasyMouse.
Install EasyMouse, grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions, and select your mouse in the device list.
If pointer settings show a "Hardware DPI" row, your mouse is supported. Set the value in steps of 100.
If it says the device is not supported, use pointer speed and acceleration instead. The sensitivity calibration task can help you match a feel.
Test, then save. Settings are stored per device, so other mice are not affected.
Before you start.
Hardware DPI does not work on every mouse. EasyMouse is free, so install it and check that your mouse shows the "Hardware DPI" row first. If the maker's app also controls the same mouse, the settings can conflict.
- 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
How is DPI different from pointer speed?
DPI is the resolution the mouse sensor reports. Pointer speed is how macOS scales that input into on-screen movement. Both change how fast the cursor feels.
Does it work without Logitech's app?
Yes. On supported mice, EasyMouse changes hardware DPI by itself.
Can I slow the cursor down temporarily for precise work?
Yes. Precision Clutch slows the pointer only while you need it.
