Use different settings for each mouse on Mac and switch automatically
Your desk mouse, travel mouse and trackpad rarely feel right with the same speed and scroll direction. macOS does not remember values per device, so you end up reopening System Settings every time you switch. EasyMouse stores settings for each device and automatically applies the settings of the device you moved last.
Set it up in EasyMouse.
Install EasyMouse and grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions.
Connect every mouse and trackpad you use, then select each one in the device list and set its tracking speed, pointer acceleration and scroll direction.
In App Settings, check that "Auto-switch to the last moved mouse" is turned on.
Move each device in turn and check that its own settings take effect. From then on, just pick up the device you want.
Before you start.
Settings are stored per device, so even two mice of the same model can be tuned separately. If another mouse utility also changes speed or scrolling on the same device, turn off its changes while testing.
- 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
Do I have to pick a profile when I switch mice?
No. With auto-switching on, EasyMouse detects the device you moved last and applies its settings.
Can I keep a trackpad and a mouse connected at the same time?
Yes. EasyMouse recognizes the built-in trackpad and USB or Bluetooth mice together and keeps separate settings for each.
Can settings also change by app or display?
Yes. Add an app or display condition in automatic settings to change sensitivity, scrolling and buttons for that situation.
