So, I’ve been messing around with my Mac setup lately, trying to get the mouse scrolling just right. You know how it is, sometimes it’s just not smooth, especially when I’m using a high refresh rate monitor. It’s a pain, honestly, gives me a headache after a while.
I heard about this thing called “Mac Mouse Fix” and figured, why not give it a shot? But I got into something unexpected, and I would like to share this.
Install Mac Mouse Fix 3
First, I gotta install the Mac Mouse Fix 3. I went to find it, and it’s a beta version. And then I tried to install this Mac Mouse Fix 3, but It’s not that easy to install successfully. Fortunately, I made it, and this is the first step.
Settings After Installation
After getting it installed, I jumped into the settings. The app has a ton of options, which is great. I played around with the scrolling settings mostly. The cool part is that you can set it up just how you like, without too much fiddling. Everything feels pretty intuitive.
My Specific Configuration
Here’s what I ended up doing:
- Smooth Scrolling: Turned this on, obviously. Makes everything feel way more fluid.
- Scrolling Speed: I cranked this up a bit. I like it when things move quickly, but not too fast. It’s like, find that sweet spot, you know?
- Inertia: Messed with this a little. It changes how the scrolling behaves when you flick it. I found a setting that feels just right, not too slippery.
Accessibility Settings
I also found out you gotta tweak some settings in the System Preferences. I went into Accessibility, then Pointer Control. There’s a bunch of stuff in there. For the Trackpad Options, I set the speed to FAST and kept scrolling checked with inertia. Just makes everything sync up nicely with Mac Mouse Fix.
Uninstall If Needed
Now, if you ever need to uninstall Mac Mouse Fix, it’s pretty straightforward. You just have to open the Terminal and type a command. It removes the app, but not all the related files, so keep that in mind.
Alternatives
If Mac Mouse Fix isn’t your cup of tea, there are other options out there. I’ve heard of MOS and SteerMouse. They do similar things, like smoothing out the scrolling and letting you customize your mouse settings. Might be worth checking out if you’re still not happy.
What I Learned
So, basically, I was able to improve my mouse scrolling on my Mac using this beta app. After all these steps, my mouse scrolling is smooth now, and my headache is gone. It’s pretty cool how much of a difference it makes, it just feels so much better to use now. If you’re having the same issues, maybe give Mac Mouse Fix a try, or one of the alternatives. It’s all about finding what works best for you.
Hope this helps someone out there!
