What’s new in version 1.5.3332
Updated on Apr 27 2023
This's a major release, it will wipe out all your previous settings, and the settings save/load won't help due to the configuration being incompatible is the reason of wipe out in the first place.
The best practice is to take some pics of your settings.
- Improved reinitializing procedure from wake up, hopefully fixing some configuration loss issues.
- Add a "more smooth" option to scroll.
- Add a chart to visualize your smooth scroll settings for macOS 13, for already overly complicated scroll settings.
- Improved action of "Force click", and renamed it to Look up.
- Add an option of cursor hold in gesture.
- Add a new long press gesture.
- Expand the long press and drag gestures to the right button.
- Add general "grab for binding" options for quirk buttons of Logi mice.
- Code revamp and UI improvements.

Version: 1.3.2412
The newest version (v.1.5.3332) is a major revision, and it's great. This is now the best mouse utility IMO. As jaythemacguy, I've also found the developer to be very responsive.

Version: 1.3.2185
The app does what it says and the price is reasonable. The best part: I noticed a bug and the developer was super quick to jump on the issue and address it!
