Note to Mac Mouse Fix 3 Buyers
In May 2024, I saw several people being surprised and upset because Mac Mouse Fix 3 suddenly stopped working and prompted them to buy the app. It seems that they updated from Mac Mouse Fix 2 to Mac Mouse Fix 3 without being aware of the pricing changes.
I'm really sorry about this! I admit it was very easy to miss the information about the pricing changes for people who updated from Mac Mouse Fix 2 directly to 3.0.1 or 3.0.2. As a result, I've improved the update notes for 3.0.2 to make it harder to miss that Mac Mouse Fix 3 isn't free anymore.
I also want to offer a refund to anyone who felt negatively affected by this. Please click here to apply for it.
Again, I'm sorry about the trouble, and I hope everyone is ok with this as a solution!
The latest version of Mac Mouse Fix 2 stays entirely free, and you can download it here.
Update Notes
Mac Mouse Fix 3.0.2 brings several improvements, including smoother scrolling, improved translations, and more!
Scrolling
- You can now stop scroll animations by scrolling one step in the opposite direction. This allows you to 'throw' and 'catch' the page when using 'Smoothness: High', similar to a Trackpad.
- Mac Mouse Fix now sends scroll events earlier in the display refresh cycle, giving apps more time to process the scroll events and display scrolling smoothly. This improves framerates, especially on complex websites like YouTube.com.
- Improved the responsiveness of the 'Smoothness: High' setting, making scrolling easier to control.
- Improved on a mechanism introduced in 3.0.1 where the animation speed becomes faster as you move the scroll wheel faster when using 'Smoothness: Regular'. In 3.0.2 the speedup of the animation should appear more consistent and predictable, making it easier on the eyes while providing great control.
- Fixed a problem where the scrolling speed was too slow, especially when using the 'Precision' option. This problem was introduced in 3.0.1. Thanks to @V-Coba for drawing attention to it in 795.
- Improved behaviour inside the Arc browser when using 'Click and Scroll' to 'Zoom In or Out'.
Localization
- Updated 🇻🇳 Vietnamese translations. Credits to @nghlt!
- Improved some 🇩🇪 German translations.
- Text inside Mac Mouse Fix that doesn't have a translation for the current language will now show a placeholder value instead of just being blank. This should make it less confusing to navigate the app when there are missing translations.
Other
- Mac Mouse Fix will now show a notification with a link to this guide to users who might be experiencing a bug in macOS 13 Ventura and later that can prevent Mac Mouse Fix from being enabled.
- Changed the default settings for mice with 3 buttons. The default settings no longer feature a 'Click and Scroll' action for the Scrollwheel Button, since that is pretty hard to perform. Instead, the default settings now feature a 'Hold' and a 'Double Click' action.
- Added a tooltip to the Mac Mouse Fix icon on the About tab. It tells you how to reveal Mac Mouse Fix's config file in the Finder.
- Lots of under-the-hood cleanup and improvements.
