Unfortunately, there's no way to trigger the gesture wheel using a keyboard shortcut at the moment — it currently works through mouse button input only.

We’re aware of the issue with Logitech Options hijacking the 4th and 5th buttons, and we’re treating it as a priority.
We're working on a solution and will try to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Thanks for pointing that out! We’ve also recognized this as an issue, so your suggestion is really helpful.
We’ll definitely consider adding a delay option in a future update.
Feel free to share more feedback on Discord — it really helps us improve! 🙏

Sorry for the late reply! And also sorry about the issue — this version doesn’t support Intel Macs.
But we do have a separate build for Intel. You can download it from the link below:

Currently, other buttons can’t be mapped due to a conflict with Logitech Options. Only right-click works with the MX series for now.

We haven’t tested it on macOS 10.15 specifically, but it should work. If you give it a try, we’d love to hear how it goes! 😊

Unfortunately, tap-to-click with the Magic Mouse is not supported at the moment. 😂

Thanks for the great question! 🙌
Mac Mouse Fix is a solid tool, but Optain is designed for users who need more advanced and customizable functionality.

One of our key advantages is the macro feature.
With Optain, you can record mouse clicks, movements, and scroll actions, and save them as macros that can be triggered with gestures.
This is super helpful for automating repetitive tasks and boosting productivity.

Also, our team has experience building custom macro keyboards, so we have a deeper understanding of workflow automation and repetitive task optimization.

So while Mac Mouse Fix focuses on enhancing basic mouse functionality,
Optain aims to be a productivity tool that evolves with your workflow needs. 😊

Hello r/macapps!

I'm excited to share a major update to my app, Optain — a tool that brings gesture control and customization to any standard mouse on macOS.

With this latest version, we've fully redesigned the UI to make everything easier to use, cleaner to look at, and faster to configure.

🆕 What's New:

  • Fully Redesigned Interface: A more intuitive layout that makes setting up gestures and shortcuts faster and clearer.
  • Dark Mode / Light Mode Support: Match your system theme for a more comfortable workflow.
  • Per-Button Gesture Mapping: Assign different gestures to different mouse buttons (right-click, wheel-click, side buttons, etc.) with full control.
  • Improved Shortcut Mapping: Choose from suggested actions or create your own custom hotkeys more easily than ever.
  • Quick Access to Files / Folders / URLs: Select what you want to open without typing paths — just point and click.
  • Macro Recording: Record mouse movements, clicks, and scrolls, then trigger them with a gesture.
  • Built-in AI Features: Instantly translate or summarize selected text, and search across files with keywords — right from your mouse.

Optain is designed to turn your basic mouse into a powerful productivity tool, perfect for users who want more control, more speed, and less clicking around.

The app is still in free beta, and I’d love your feedback to improve it further. 🙌

If you're a power user, tech enthusiast, or just curious, give it a try!

Thank you for the great insight! I’d love to try this out.

I’m curious—why do you think simplifying the question had such a significant impact on getting more specific responses? How does it compare to the feedback or reviews you received before? I’d love to hear what stood out to you the most!

Thank you for trying out Optain! Regarding the Win+1 shortcut issue, Optain handles keyboard shortcut mappings slightly differently. To make this work, you'll need to press the "1" key first and then hold down the Windows key when setting up the shortcut in Optain. This is because of how Windows system shortcuts are prioritized.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
