Logitech/Razer/Corsair, all trash software. And if I really needed more dedicated controls - well, why stop at one gamepad? Maybe I should try a flight stick too. I currently mix gamepad with a split keyboard(Freestyle 2) and a Kensington trackball as the backup mouse having the controller in the center of the split makes it smooth to pick up and put down. I wish gamepads had some wheels or dials too, but the options already there are aplenty and I am testing a few out right now.

Precision and speed can be had by using multiple sticks and dpad, you can hold it at many angles and aren't chained to the desk, the grips have been ergonomically refined, and there's a decent selection of sticks, buttons and triggers. It's not perfect(some mouse events just don't work right through this method so I may have to try other software) but it's reminded me of what gamepads are good at relative to mice, which is - almost everything except whipping around the cursor, which isn't useful in productivity apps anyway. Lately I have returned to using a gamepad with Joy2Key for browsing and productivity in Windows, something I last did in the 2000's. It can’t do cursor or scroll wheel adjustments, though. You may already be using it anyway to, eg, remap your Caps key. Otherwise, get Steermouse.ĮDIT: Forgot to mention: if all you want is button customisation and you don’t want to pay for Steermouse, Karabiner-Elements is free and will have you covered. So, PSA: if you’re on a Mac (AS or Intel), own a Logitech mouse and fucking hate your life, try your luck with Logitech’s software. I’ve had similar experiences over the years with multiple Logitech mice on multiple Intel Macs - mostly using Logitech Options instead of GHub. Nuked Logitech’s crap from orbit and never looked back. Was then able to fine tune cursor and scroll wheel speed and acceleration, middle and back / forward button customisations, etc. Runs as root, Sensor DPI won’t stay set, on-board mode flat out doesn’t work, requires manually setting permissions on a config file in order to save settings (!), etc.Īfter struggling with it for several days - including trying to set it up in on-board mode on a Windows PC before bringing it across - to no avail, I finally came across Steermouse ( ).

A casual perusal of Reddit and customer forums will confirm. But Logitech’s software is a fucking car crash. I recently bought a Logitech G Pro X Superlight to use as my daily driver on an M1 Mac. The 3rd party mouse situation on Macs is totally out of control.
