It looks cool, but there is no screenshot or video of the settings you can configure.

The videos show only the effects (scrolling, etc) and not how you can use your mouse or set it up to do it.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. How does this work? What's it like to use this? Seems like one of the most important possible questions to answer, but the website says nothing.

I just installed it, here's what I can set: bindings for the middle mouse button (click/hold/double click/click and drag), for clicking mouse buttons 4 and 5, smooth scrolling on/off, scroll speed, and (the reason I installed it): you can invert the scrolling direction just for the mouse.

Yup! Came to say the same thing. Seems to fix a problem I have, but I have no clue how it does it, and that doesn't pass the threshold for me to install it

The Github repo[0] is listed. Could open an issue for describing how it works.

Alas, this is my experience with a lot of product websites. There’s lots of content but rarely anything useful.

The main thing it fixes for me is that I can now use a regular Logitech mouse and scroll just like on Linux and Windows. Before it scrolled too slow (on pixel level) and even when scrolling fast it went slow (no matter the settings on Mac OS). If I let the Logi MX Anywhere 3 wheel roll freely it scrolled too fast. This tool fixed the annoying scrolling issues I had.

This seems to be the main feature it does.

The other is that you can reprogram what the middle button (the scroll wheel click) does.

Same with botton 4 and 5 (default back and forth between pages).
