Sensible Side Buttons

Looks like it's Open Source too (GPL2): https://github.com/archagon/sensible-side-buttons

Hasn't had a commit in 6 years though. :/

There's a reported issue at sensible-side-buttons/issues/76.

On macOS, I use SensibleSideButtons to map my Logitech mouse side buttons to Swipe Right and Swipe Left. This works as a generic Forwards/Back in lots of places: Safari, Firefox, Finder, iTerm2.

Unfortunately the app appears to be abandoned (no Apple Silicon builds), but if there's interest I will resurrect it.

Also, the side buttons can be managed by this -> Sensible Side Buttons so I don't care if their software is not compatible with macOS.

Sensible Side Buttons turns the side buttons on a normal mouse into forward/back page buttons.

SensibleSideButtons — If you use a mouse with side buttons

SensibleSideButtons (free) — again if you have a mouse with side buttons this will hook them up to back/forward

8. Linear Mouse

I haven't been using it for this purpose, but Linear Mouse should be able to do the trick:

https://linearmouse.app/

to add to the mouse/input apps mentioned, i'll add https://github.com/thealpa/SaneSideButtons and https://linearmouse.app/, the "avoid installing steelseriesengine or logi options" stack

- Settings are different per input device, scrolling can be per app

LinearMouse - Price: Free Mouse acceleration manager for macOS that allows you to customize your mouse acceleration curve.

Try linearmouse, the app is amazing, free, and also gets rid of mouse acceleration. https://linearmouse.app

LinearMouse

I used to use steer mouse and it was good, just the settings panel was loading very slow. Now I use linearmouse and it's much simpler to setup and even works with magic mouse (which steer mouse didn't do).
