Agreed -- I would dump macOS for Debian in a second if it weren't for my workplace trying to standardize everyone on one OS. The fact that I have to buy a third-party app just to disable mouse/scroll acceleration and enable my mouse's extra buttons is absolutely ludicrous.
(if anyone is wondering, the third-party app I speak of is Smooze, and it's a godsend https://smooze.co/ https://smooze.co/)

For example, I have a gaming mouse at home, and have one of the buttons configured to trigger Mission Control (showing miniature images of all windows open across all apps) merely through the Mouse pane of System Preferences. Also, games detect the extra buttons and can be configured to use them with no problem. But yes, disabling mouse acceleration should be a built-in feature as well, and it is not.
- Doctor_Fegg 9y agoGenerally if I buy hardware I expect the vendor to provide Mac support. Microsoft does with its keyboards, for example, so a mouse should be no different.
