UnnaturalScrollWheels VS hammerspoon

For gaming, you want to use Crossover or the FOSS Whisky app. Parallels only runs Arm Windows which then emulates x86. This is much much slower than using Wine to translate system calls and Apple's Game Porting Toolkit to handle the Vulkan or DirectX graphics. Crossover and Whisky take care of the internals of those for you. Give those a shot, I think you'll find it much better than a full VM. In my experience some games do run better this way than the MacOS versions, though that's usually because the Mac client wasn't compiled for Apple Silicon and so Rosetta is emulating. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure WOW is already Apple Silicon native, so you probably won't get better performance this way.

For the mouse stuff, try a USB mouse if you're not already using one, combined with https://github.com/ther0n/UnnaturalScrollWheels

That works really well for me to get a Windows-like mouse curve.

TLDR skip the emulation and go for translation layers via Crossover, Whisky, and GPT. It'll be much faster. The mouse thing is separate and has nothing to do with the graphics layer.

------

Personally though, I'd just pay $20 a month for Geforce Now. It is much much faster than even the highest end Mac.

Was the utility UnnaturalScrollWheels?

I'm using https://github.com/ther0n/UnnaturalScrollWheels, literally the only thing it does is invert the scroll wheel direction.

"You're holding it wrong" taken to absolute mastery.

I use this tool to keep natural scrolling on trackpad and normal scrolling on my wheely mouse: https://github.com/ther0n/UnnaturalScrollWheels

A Free Tool UnnaturalScrollWheels is a MacOS app that allows you to invert the scroll direction for physical scroll wheels while maintaining the normal function for trackpads. aew3 recommends it "for those like me who go between dock and laptop and prefer my mouse to have a different scroll direction to the trackpad." Another Free Tool Locust is an open-source load testing tool that allows you to define whatever user behavior you like, and then swarm your system with millions of those users simultaneously. certTaker suggests, "If you want to test an actual application and how it handles network latency, potential buffering, QoS etc, then you could use Locust to stress-test REST-based applications and their APIs." A Tip Synssins shares a method for replacing an older Windows File Server with new, while keeping all shares and DNS intact:

“For some reason in macOS, toggling the "Scroll direction: Natural" option in Mouse settings also changes it in Trackpad settings despite being in separate places.” Check out this app too which also takes care of acceleration. https://github.com/ther0n/UnnaturalScrollWheels

There is another app, UnnaturalScrollWheels, which also takes care of scroll and mouse acceleration.

Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

For basic window tiling, I stumbled across Hammerspoon and the MiroWindowsManager spoon.

I use hammerspoon a lot and it seemed like scheduling SelfControl could be done using it so I created Hammer Control. Check it out!

Hammerspoon - Price: Free Desktop automation tool for macOS that allows you to write Lua scripts to control your Mac.

Spark (not the email app). There are others like Hotkey and Hammerspoon.

I have tried different tools for this including Rectangle, but I've finally settled with hammerspoon. It solves the problem of window-management but you can also use it to create custom keyboard shortcuts and much more.

https://github.com/Hammerspoon/hammerspoon/issues/1255 could be a start

I feel similarly about hammerspoon [1] on macOS. Not a GUI tool, but Lua is a very easy language to learn.
