SteerMouse
Assign any button on a third-party mouse
Mac$19.99 once
The verdict
Extra buttons on a third-party mouse do nothing on a Mac until a driver like SteerMouse gives them a job. Assign double-clicks, modifier clicks, keyboard shortcuts, app switching or snap-to cursor moves to any button, and set cursor sensitivity separately from tracking speed. It works with USB and Bluetooth mice, supports Apple Silicon, and costs $19.99 once.
Get it if
