Mac Mouse Fix alternative
for smooth scrolling.
If you searched for Mac Mouse Fix because an ordinary mouse feels choppy on macOS, first decide whether you want a complete mouse-customization app or a smaller utility focused on scrolling.
The short answer
Choose Mac Mouse Fix when you want button remapping, gestures, and scrolling in one app. Choose Silk Scroll when you mainly want to smooth the wheel, adjust its feel, and leave the rest of the mouse alone.
Silk Scroll vs Mac Mouse Fix

Focused utility or complete mouse toolkit?
More features are useful when you need them. They also mean more settings to understand. Silk Scroll intentionally does not remap buttons or recreate trackpad gestures. It concentrates on turning compatible wheel steps into display-synchronized pixel movement.
Before switching apps
- Quit the current utility.Do not compare two apps while both are changing wheel input.
- Test the same page.Use a long Safari page or Finder window and repeat the same slow and fast wheel turns.
- Check permissions.Direct-distribution mouse utilities may require Input Monitoring and Accessibility, followed by an app restart.
- Choose the smaller fit.Keep the app whose feature set and scrolling feel match what you actually use.
Try Silk Scroll.
Free for macOS 14 or later. Works with compatible USB and Bluetooth wheel mice.
