Cross posted this as I just noticed the “feature” on my machine.

Any suggestions for alternative software for an MX Master 3 being used with macOS.

Buying a whole other device seems wasteful as the mouse is in flawless condition, but if you have any suggestions I can take a note of it when it is time to buy a new device.

Why do you need any software?

Well, the gestures are a primary reason I use the software.

Without the software, the only functionality I get in macOS is scrolling, rendering the buttons and side scroll wheel useless.

Solaar usually works well enough. Not sure if the gestures part is supported on MacOS.

I usually avoid depending on "hardware support" software for reasons like this. Once the software is no longer supported or as seen here, introduces some dumb "feature", it becomes annoying.

To access all the extra MX mouse features that go above and beyond what a basic mouse has. MacOS supports a basic 2 button + scroll wheel mouse just fine, but the MX has other features.
