Getting started
- Open SwagMouse from Applications.
- Allow Input Monitoring when prompted. SwagMouse reads mouse reports and does not read keyboard input.
- Activate SwagMouse’s driver and approve it in System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions → Driver Extensions.
- Connect a supported mouse. Enable stays unavailable until mouse access, driver output, and the selected mouse are ready. The setup section hides once these checks pass.
- Choose your pointer speed and Enhance pointer precision setting. Start at 6/11.
- Enable SwagMouse, keep the pointer away from screen edges, and hold the mouse still briefly while it calibrates. The current driver disables additional macOS acceleration on its own virtual pointer automatically, leaving global mouse preferences untouched.
Pausing and removing SwagMouse
Use the menu bar to open settings or pause and resume. Quitting releases mouse capture and uses your current macOS mouse settings. To remove the driver, choose Deactivate SwagMouse Driver from its menu before deleting the app.
Other input utilities and games
Karabiner can remain open for keyboard remapping. Another utility that captures or remaps the same physical mouse can conflict with SwagMouse. Games that read raw mouse input may receive adjusted virtual mouse reports. Trackpads retain their normal behavior.
Troubleshooting
If Enable is unavailable, complete the setup step shown in the app. Driver approval and a working virtual pointer are separate checks. After approval, the Activate button disappears; Enable waits until the pointer is ready. An older driver can occasionally remain shutting down after an update. If that state persists, restart your Mac. Setup instructions reappear if a prerequisite becomes unavailable.
If movement is unavailable or calibration is interrupted, pause SwagMouse, move the pointer away from display edges, and resume while holding the mouse still. If capture fails, check whether another mouse utility owns the device.
