Device Compatibility

Mouse+ works with any USB or Bluetooth mouse on macOS — no driver, no kernel extension, nothing installed at the system level. Plug in or pair a mouse and Mouse+ enhances it in place.

Per-model Mac setup guides​

Looking for step-by-step help on a specific model? Our Compatible Models series walks through pairing, side-button recipes, and push-to-talk setups for the most-used mice on macOS:

More models are added on a rolling basis. For the complete list with per-model button slots, see the Mac mouse compatibility database.

Any mouse, plus enhanced recognition for 23 models​

Basic enhancement — smooth scrolling, pointer speed, and general button mapping — works on virtually any USB or Bluetooth mouse, with no driver. On top of that, Mouse+ ships a recognition list of 23 specific models that unlock model-specific profiles: thumb-button, scroll-mode, wheel tilt / thumb wheel, and special-key handling.

Two recognition tiers, plus a fallback for everything else:

  • HID++ profile — Logitech mice reached over Bluetooth or a Bolt / Unifying / Lightspeed receiver. Full named-slot mapping (S1 / S2 / T / SM / WL / WR), battery level, ratchet ↔ free-spin scroll-mode toggling, and per-model defaults.
  • VID:PID profile — non-Logitech mice matched by USB / Bluetooth identifiers. Named-slot mapping with click-based side buttons, but no HID++ features (no battery, no scroll-mode toggle).
  • Universal HID — anything not in the recognition list; smooth scrolling, pointer speed, and click-based side-button mapping via the universal HID engine.

Which models, exactly​

The full per-model list lives in the Mac mouse compatibility database — all 23 recognised models with their USB IDs and, for each one, the exact slot configuration it exposes: which side buttons, thumb button, scroll-mode key and wheel-tilt inputs are actually mappable. That page is generated straight from the recognition list inside the app, so it cannot drift out of date.

Models are matched by VID:PID, with additional Logitech HID++ / BLE parsing and a manual model-binding option. Recognized devices get automatic side-button mapping after detection, and a "Clear model binding" control lets you reset recognition at any time. Models without a per-model setup guide are still fully recognized — LinguaX applies its default mapping the moment the device connects.

Two edge cases are worth knowing about. Magic Mouse 2 is recognised but deliberately hidden from the device list — it exposes no mappable buttons, and macOS already drives its touch surface and gestures natively. MX Ergo and both G Pro X Superlight models are the reverse case: they ship a setup guide but are not part of the recognition list, so they run on the universal HID engine — smooth scrolling, pointer speed, and click-based side buttons, without model-specific slots.

Not on the list? Your mouse still gets every basic enhancement through the universal HID engine — smooth scrolling, pointer speed, and click-based button mapping. New models are added on a rolling basis; open an issue if yours is missing.

HID++ / BLE and battery​

For Logitech wireless mice over Bluetooth, Mouse+ supports full HID++, enabling complete gesture and button mapping — not just basic clicks. Event-driven HID++ reads keep latency low. Battery level is shown only for devices that report it: BLE mice (via the standard battery service) and Logitech HID++ mice. Wired and generic USB mice do not expose a battery reading.

Receiver families we cover​

If your Logitech device uses a wireless receiver, LinguaX works alongside it regardless of vendor family:

  • Bolt — Logitech's current-generation secure receiver, used by most MX-series and business models since 2021
  • Unifying — the long-serving small-form-factor receiver, still bundled with M720, M585/M590, and older MX models
  • Lightspeed — the low-latency receiver for G-series (G Pro X Superlight, G502 X Lightspeed, and similar)
  • Bluetooth — no receiver needed; LinguaX reads HID++ over BLE for Logitech models that support it

Pairing a new receiver without installing Logi Options+ or G HUB? Use our in-browser pairing tool — Chrome and Edge only, no software install required.

Compared to Logi Options+​

  • No account. Mouse+ never asks you to sign in.
  • Reliable across sleep/wake. Bluetooth devices recover automatically after sleep, with no manual reconnection.
  • ~10MB, native. No Electron, no heavy background agent.
