User reviews

Super straightforward and it has most features you'd want from it. What I'm missing is an option to export my settings. I'm using it on a few devices, but I have to set it up for each one separately. That's a small annoyance.

Doesn't work at all on my Macbook

Used it for long time on Windows. Sadly, it does not work on MacOS: right click is not intercepted. Could it be bound to middle mouse button?
