## What it is
Mac Mouse Fix is a macOS application that enhances third-party mice with smooth scrolling, button remapping, and trackpad-like gestures. It makes cheap mice feel as polished as Apple's own input devices.

## Use cases
- enable smooth scrolling for a third-party mouse on mac
- remap mouse buttons to keyboard shortcuts and gestures
- invert or customize scroll direction on macos
- make a cheap mouse feel like an apple trackpad
- configure click-and-drag actions for window switching
- get mouse driver features logitech doesn't provide on mac

## When to choose
- you use a non-Apple mouse on macOS and want smooth scrolling and button customization
- your mouse vendor offers poor or no macOS driver software
- you want a polished, well-maintained native Mac utility

## When to avoid
- you need mouse customization on Windows or Linux
- you only use Apple's Magic Mouse or Trackpad
- you need enterprise-managed driver deployment
