Prime reason why I use a cheap mouse that has no software. Mouse software is literally pointless
I like to be able to customize my buttons on my 5 button mouse. I have a Logitech mouse and keyboard, but use BetterMouse for Mac. It’s a much simpler interface. There’s probably something FOSS for PC as well.
Mousepointing device software is literally pointless.Heh.
I hate Razer’s software with a passion, but the ability to set and assign keyboard macros to my Deathadder’s side buttons that then “just work” across all my computers is invaluable to me.
To give you an example of what I use it for… The Deathadder V2 has two thumb buttons and two small ones under the scroll wheel. The thumb buttons switch between virtual desktops (Previous/Next) using Win+Ctrl+(Left/Right). The top scroll button opens Task View to show me all open windows (Win+Tab). Bottom switches between my two sensitivity presets. For Linux I just bind these same shortcuts to do equivalent actions in window manager/desktop environment. I haven’t used a Mac since I bought this mouse, but with my old MacBook and mouse, I just used Karabiner Elements to rebind stuff around. It gives me a very predictable workflow on all major OSes.
I just noticed the “feature” on my machine. The software is already janky enough with the number of software it install to provide basic functionality.
Came here to ask for suggestions for alternative software for an MX Master 3 being used with macOS.
Buying a whole other device seems wasteful as the mouse is in flawless condition, but if you have any suggestions I can take a note of it when it is time to buy a new device.
lol didn’t even bother to dot it? Also shouldn’t stuff like that go in one of the library cache directories?
Another reason not to buy from them.
I have to suffer using their software because I already bought their MX Master 3 a couple of years back.
Unfortunately, I still don’t see a well-built alternative which provides similar functionality.
