LinguaX 2025.12 (build 5200) is now stable and fully supports macOS 27. It remains compatible with macOS 13.0 and later, so upgrading LinguaX does not require upgrading your Mac.
The macOS 27 beta cycle changed the behavior of several system interactions that LinguaX relies on. We used the beta releases to find those differences early, validate fixes in real workflows, and bring the complete compatibility work into this stable release.
LinguaX is now in the official Homebrew Cask tap. If you already use brew to install your Mac apps, adding LinguaX is one command — and every future release lands in brew upgrade automatically.
TL;DR:
brew install --cask linguax
If you're using a Mac with a Logitech mouse, you've probably experienced this: scrolling feels choppy and jittery, nothing like the silky smooth experience of a Magic Mouse or trackpad.
And to make things worse, Logi Options+ has been acting up lately—developer certificates expiring, causing all sorts of errors, sometimes making the software completely unusable. There's been quite a bit of complaining about this online.
If you're researching automatic input method switching on macOS, you'll quickly meet two names: LinguaX and Input Source Pro. They overlap on input switching, but they aren't the same kind of tool.
The key difference: Input Source Pro does one job — it switches input sources. LinguaX is a full macOS mouse enhancement app (smooth scrolling, side-button and gesture mapping, a Logi Options+ alternative) that also automates input-source switching. If you'd otherwise install one tool for your mouse and another for languages, LinguaX replaces both.
If your third-party mouse feels rough on macOS — jumpy scrolling, dead side buttons, no real driver — LinguaX fixes it. LinguaX is a lightweight, native macOS mouse enhancement app that gives any USB or Bluetooth mouse trackpad-grade scrolling, real button and gesture mappings, and per-app behavior, all without installing a kernel driver.
It is under 5MB, fully native (no Electron), keeps every setting on your Mac (no account, no telemetry), and works as a lightweight Logi Options+ alternative. Alongside the mouse tools, LinguaX has a second core capability: it automates macOS input-source switching for multilingual users.
