Mac Mouse Fix
Trackpad-style gestures for any third-party mouse
Mac$2.99 once
The verdict
Plug a regular mouse into a Mac and you lose every trackpad gesture and smooth scrolling. Mac Mouse Fix brings them back: hold a side button and drag to switch Spaces or open Mission Control, and reverse scrolling for the mouse alone. It costs $2.99 after a 30-day trial that only counts days you use it, while Mos is the free option if smooth scrolling is all you miss.
Get it if
You use a cheap or gaming mouse with side buttons and miss your trackpad's gestures.
Skip it if
You use an Apple Magic Mouse, which Mac Mouse Fix doesn't support.
