What’s new in version 1.5.3332

This's a major release, it will wipe out all your previous settings, and the settings save/load won't help due to the configuration being incompatible is the reason of wipe out in the first place.

The best practice is to take some pics of your settings.

  • Improved reinitializing procedure from wake up, hopefully fixing some configuration loss issues.
  • Add a "more smooth" option to scroll.
  • Add a chart to visualize your smooth scroll settings for macOS 13, for already overly complicated scroll settings.
  • Improved action of "Force click", and renamed it to Look up.
  • Add an option of cursor hold in gesture.
  • Add a new long press gesture.
  • Expand the long press and drag gestures to the right button.
  • Add general "grab for binding" options for quirk buttons of Logi mice.
  • Code revamp and UI improvements.

The newest version (v.1.5.3332) is a major revision, and it's great. This is now the best mouse utility IMO. As jaythemacguy, I've also found the developer to be very responsive.

The app does what it says and the price is reasonable. The best part: I noticed a bug and the developer was super quick to jump on the issue and address it!
