Steermouse software5/19/2023 It also appears to need an update once a week or so which is fun to find out when you open it to fix the zoom level and have to wait until it finishes updating and relaunching. Razer was a huge PITA constantly forgetting my config and I couldn't be happier now that I have Karabiner handling everything for my Razer device.Ĭorsair makes a great wireless headset that plays nice with Mac and has good range (I can walk around almost all of my house and stay connected which is a godsend for Zoom hangouts with friends). Unfortunately, their software, iCue, is trash. It regularly tells me my headset is "Unavailable" when it's working just fine and if I leave my headset off the charger (aka, I don't plug in it) and it goes to sleep then it's a 50-50 chance that it will forget it's config. I couldn't care less about the RGB nonsense on the ear cups but the bright LED on the mic boom (green = on, red = off) is distracting. Thankfully they have a setting to only show the LED when the mic is off (exactly what I want, I want visual confirmation I'm muted). If you're dependent on LCC for special buttons like the Thumb Button and so forth, I recommend that you get something like BetterTouchTool and create custom bindings instead.The problem is if it loses it's config that defaults back to always on and I have to do a dance of killing the iCue software and relaunching it until it fixes itself. Note: If you're planning to use this app, you should uninstall Logitech Control Center or it might not work as you'd like. The paid version includes some additional features, like cursor gesture shortcuts, but I think you can solve the issues with the free version. It also provides very customizable settings for those who likes smoothing, with different curve selections and speeds. I found that Smooze was able to create the scrolling behaviour I like – which is non-smoothed linear scrolling with no acceleration curves. After having tried some common suggestions like USB Overdrive and SteerMouse to no results, I tried this new app which also appears to be actively developed with new updates at the time of this post. Smooze helped me get rid of all annoyances, after several months of problems. Regardless, with BetterTouchTool, you can set application-specific keystrokes and bind them to mouse buttons. Possibly, something like BetterTouchTool, Steermouse, or USB Overdrive could be used to intercept the OS functions Forward/Back in case the keyboard shortcuts above aren't global for all applications. I was able to mitigate this issue by binding those buttons to keystrokes in Logitech Control Center, e.g. I have tried checking the settings of System Preferences > Mouse and System Preferences > Logitech Control Center > Vertical Scroll but came up with nothing except temporary band-aid tweaks to make it feel better.Įdit, Broken Mouse Buttons: Also related to this, is the issue that the Forward/Back buttons on some Logitech mice have stopped working. Sierra just came out, but I'm not that hopeful that Logitech are capable of tending to issues like these, so I'm afraid I will have to do something about it myself. Because of this, it feels like the computer is laggy when scrolling a page, but it's probably due to the way the software scrolls. In third-party applications, like Google Chrome, the scrolling is quite fast but not fluid it's choppy and non-linear with sudden jumps and stops.In native macOS applications, like Apple Pages, there is an ”inertia-ish” effect that slows down the scroll and introduces some sort of acceleration-like movement akin to the worst nightmares from Windows 10.The scrolling behaviour is erratic because I'm actually assaulted by two issues: The update to macOS Sierra wrecked scrolling with my Logitech Mouse (which uses Logitech Control Center).
