Third-party mice never quite feel right
Scrolling feels choppy, inertia is off, and macOS gives you almost no tuning controls for non-Apple mice.
LinguaX is a macOS utility for mouse enhancement, push-to-talk voice input, and automatic input-source switching — smooth scrolling, gesture and button mapping, and input source rules by app and website.
Scrolling feels choppy, inertia is off, and macOS gives you almost no tuning controls for non-Apple mice.
Most third-party button mapping tools are clunky or app-unaware. You end up ignoring the buttons.
Reaching for a key to start dictation, then manually switching input source — every single time.
Everything your third-party mouse needs to feel like it belongs on macOS.
Works with any USB or Bluetooth mouse. No driver install needed — just LinguaX.
Tunable scroll curve for any mouse. Adjust speed and inertia. Per-app overrides when one app needs a different sensitivity. See the smooth scrolling guide.
Map clicks, long-press, and directional drags to real actions: app launch, system controls, media, or custom scripts. Map side buttons →
Override any button or scroll behavior for a specific app without touching the global config.




Hold a mouse side button to start voice dictation. Release to stop. Your hands never leave the mouse.
LinguaX maps a mouse side button to hold the macOS Fn / Globe key. While held, macOS Dictation activates. Release the button and dictation stops — just like a walkie-talkie. Full setup guide →
Set one rule per app and one per domain. LinguaX switches input source automatically whenever context changes.
Falls back to your default input source when no rule matches. Works in the background, invisible when working correctly. Setup guide for app and domain rules →
