My mouse driver is asking for a firewall exemption (2019)

I wouldn't normally chime in with a "me, too!" but it's worth reiterating that Steermouse is a godsend for mice on Mac. Whether it's sensitivity and acceleration or setting up extra buttons (and chording buttons!) it works splendidly and I don't know what I'd do without it. Using it with a Logitech MX Anywhere 2 myself.

I’ll echo everything he said about Steermouse, except to substitute for Razer’s bananas mouse software, not Logitech’s.

I don’t think Razer even has Mac drivers anymore, they went Windows only with Synapse 3. And with Apple’s recent and repeated breakage of backwards compatibility, I doubt Synapse 2 runs anymore. It would have used used a kernel extension instead of DriverKit.

Just as well, since Synapse is terrible.

You ever been in a car with a driver’s seat that has way too many options, so you can never really get the right position? That’s why I’ve never tried Steermouse. I’m afraid I’ll spend all my time trying to get all the settings right and constantly be frustrated.

But after this thread, maybe I just just try it.

Skip straight to the Cursor tab and set acceleration to .8 and sensitivity to 1775. Tweak from there only if you feel it's necessary.
