Third-party mice never quite feel right
Scrolling feels choppy, inertia is off, and macOS gives you almost no tuning controls for non-Apple mice.

The problem
Scrolling feels choppy, inertia is off, and macOS gives you almost no tuning controls for non-Apple mice.
Most third-party button mapping tools are clunky or app-unaware. You end up ignoring the buttons.
Reaching for a key to start dictation, then manually switching input source — every single time.
Core feature
Everything your third-party mouse needs to feel like it belongs on macOS.
🖱 Mouse+ Enhancement
Works with any USB or Bluetooth mouse. No driver install needed — just LinguaX.
Tunable scroll curve for any mouse, with fine-grained controls for step size, speed gain, and inertia duration. Per-app overrides when one app needs the smooth scrolling toggled. See the smooth scrolling guide.
Map clicks, long-press, and directional drags to real actions: app launch, system controls, media, or custom scripts. Map side buttons →
Override any button or scroll behavior for a specific app without touching the global config.
Standout feature
Hold a mouse side button to start voice dictation. Release to stop. Your hands never leave the mouse.
How it works
LinguaX maps a mouse side button to hold the macOS Fn / Globe key. While held, macOS Dictation activates. Release the button and dictation stops — just like a walkie-talkie. Full setup guide →
1
Map any side button to "Hold Globe Key" in the Mapping panel
2
Hold the button — macOS Dictation starts immediately
3
Release — dictation stops. No keyboard required.

Core feature
Set one rule per app and one per domain. LinguaX switches input source automatically whenever context changes.
Falls back to your default input source when no rule matches. Works in the background, invisible when working correctly. Setup guide for app and domain rules →

A native menu-bar app that respects your machine and your data.
Written in Swift, not Electron — roughly 1/50 the size of Logi Options+. No driver install needed.
Download and use it. 30-day full-feature trial, no sign-up, one-time purchase.
No tracking, no analytics. We can't see how you use it.
Rules stored locally on macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon & Intel). Optional iCloud sync when you turn it on.
Start with a full-feature trial. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription, and your rules stay on your Mac.
Mouse+ is what we lead with — smooth scrolling, gesture/button mapping, and per-app overrides. But push-to-talk voice input and automatic input source switching are equally core capabilities, not add-ons. You get all three.
Yes. LinguaX also provides app and domain input switching to keep typing aligned with your active context.
Start with a 30-day full-feature trial, then upgrade to a $9.9 one-time Lifetime license only if you want to keep using it.
Usually no. Most users can get a useful first setup in a few minutes and refine later if needed.
Any USB or Bluetooth mouse. No brand restriction, no driver needed.
