Universal Control also requires a supported macOS environment and settings.

GOOD TO KNOW
The current implementation targets the Kensington SlimBlade Pro. It detects the device IDs for USB wired, Bluetooth, and USB receiver connections. Generic support for other mice or trackballs is not offered.
Button assignments, long press, combos, drag, scroll adjustments, and app profiles are covered. Pointer speed, acceleration, axis lock, and axis inversion follow standard macOS behavior. It is not a feature that syncs settings to the other Mac.
To use the top-left and top-right buttons in UC mode, keep KensingtonWorks at its defaults (top-left = middle click, top-right = back). Other assignments may prevent input from reaching Combox. The guide covers the details.
Export settings to a JSON file and import it on another machine. It is not automatic sync. Importing overwrites the current settings, so back them up first.
Distribution is in preparation. No download links or pricing are listed until confirmed. Start with the user guide for features and first-time setup.
From those four buttons, your Mac starts working differently.
