Got a Macbook, help me find good apps and navigate the system

I've not used the Logi stuff but for me it is the MM, top notch even though it is rather flat.

https://linearmouse.app - I’ve found this app to be essential If you plan on using a non-Apple mouse. MacOS doesn’t work well with any non-Apple mice, especially with scrolling.

At the moment, I am using the MX Keys Mini and the MX Anywhere 3 on my Mac M1, M2, and Windows Machine.

Best purchasing decision ever.

Does it work smooth on an iPad?

I don't have an ipad.

What do you use the mouse so much for on the iPad?

Yes

Just want to cop a feel for the post PC revolution.

Keyboard I get but mouse is weird.

Unless you meant purely in a sidecar capacity and not as a stand alone device.

The post PC revolution is mouse free.

MX Master 3 works perfectly for me. Although did take some time to get used to the scroll direction - now I can't go back

I am using the same mouse - I could not get scrolling to feel as smooth as it did on Windows without using third-party apps. Trackpad and Magic Mouse work great, but I don’t think MacOS handles a scroll wheel very well.

I used to use scroll reverser but now there is no need for 3rd party apps

Can select natural scrolling from the settings

There is a need for a third-party app if you’re using both a mouse and the trackpad. This setting changes natural scrolling for the trackpad as well. Kinda silly. Linear Mouse lets you change the natural scrolling setting for just your mouse.

I use both and there are settings built into Mac Os or maybe i'm mistaking Logi settings. Will confirm

Natural scrolling cannot be disabled for only your mouse. Turning it off through system settings will also turn it off for your trackpad. I prefer natural scrolling on for my trackpad and off for my mouse - hence the need for a third-party app. Logitech’s software allows you to do this as well, maybe you’re using that?

A different take.

Good luck playing counter strike with that.

CopyClip

Seems you need to buy CopyClip2 to be able to open it using a keyboard shortcut?

I would just get the latest one if I was buying now, but haven’t seen the need to spend money to upgrade.

There must be a free clipboard app that supports keyboard activation?

What do you mean by activation? It’s always active.

Tried https://clipy-app.com?
