I have a slate raven touch screen, but there is no support for reaper, so i am going to have to sell that i think.Welcome to our guide to the best mouse for Mac, whether that be your Macbook, iMac, Macbook Air, Mac Pro or Mac mini, this article covers your top choices.

Reaper is so customizable, i have so many awesome actions i have made (and i have only been using it for less than a week) but i am definitely gonna need more buttons and a really ergonomic setup. Might try and find another device that just has 'buttons' too, so that i can assign some more often used commands.
#Best mouse for mac 2018 upgrade
I do think i need a bit of an upgrade though. I will try and find one somewhere to try out.Īs for the mechanical keyboard - wow that is expensive!! Never tried one but i really can't understand why people choose the massive keys!! I love the super low profile of the apple keyboards and find them much quicker to work with.īut as i said, not being a gamer, i have never tried a mechanical keyboard. I can see it would totally make sense if you have big hands.i do not, however. it really just comes down to feel for me. Yeah it definitely looks like the best mouse to me. I have the MX Master 2S, and you can very easily do everything you've outlined above. (Oh, and if anyone does decide to go for the K95 keyboard, make sure you get the one with Cherry MX Brown switches, NOT the speed ones!) Plus, mechanical keyswitches feel 1000% nicer to work with than membrane boards - I thought the whole mechanical keyboard thing was just hype to sell expensive **** to gamers, but they really do make a difference. It's also proved very useful, given that with Cubase 10 Steinberg decided it would be a fun little idea to remove like 80% of the right-click context menu - y'know, just for laughs. It takes a little bit of work to fine-tune everything to suit your workflow, but when you've got it all set to your liking, it's a fantastic way to work with your chosen DAW(s)! If I then load up or switch to, say Photoshop for example, the keyboard and mouse immediately reconfigure themselves with new macros, shortcuts and colours. You can also do this with the per-key RGB lighting, so when I load up Cubase, all my function keys are yellow, play/stop/record are green and red, selection tools are purple, etc. It has 6 dedicated macro keys on the left-hand side, but again you can also freely reprogram every key on the board on a per-application basis. I use the MX Master in combination with a Corsair K95 Platinum keyboard (which I got in a Black Friday offer) - yes, it's a mechanical RGB keyboard primarily aimed at gamers, but it's brilliant for DAW use: It's definitely a case of go and try before you buy though. I've always preferred larger mice, and the MX Master is genuinely the most comfortable mouse I've ever used. It would definitely be a big change from a Magic Mouse! personally I could never use a Magic Mouse comfortably - I've got big hands and long fingers, and Apple mice always give me bad hand cramps.

Using the Logitech Flow software, you can drag/drop files between machines (including between Windows and MacOS). It also works with up to 3 machines at once - you just press a button on the bottom of the mouse to switch. You can actually assign not just single keystrokes, but key combinations to any of the buttons, and the assignments work on a per-application basis, (so you can have a totally different set of commands for a second DAW, etc) There's a second horizontal scroll wheel under your thumb too. THAT is appealing!I have the MX Master 2S, and you can very easily do everything you've outlined above. Same again with shift.īefore you know it you have like 40 extra shortcuts right there in your hand!!! In reaper you could assign those to actions.BUT you could also combine each of those buttons with, say, cmd, for a different shortcut.

I have also been toying with the idea of getting a track pad.īut with the MX master, you get (i think its 7) extra buttons. I worry that changing mouse would be odd at this point, as it would likely feel very bulky.

I really like the look of the MX master, but i have been stuck on the magic mouse for ages because of the low profile.
