ELECOM Mouse Assistant 5
ELECOM Mouse Assistant 5 is a preference pane that extends macOS System Settings to allow customization of ELECOM-brand wired, wireless, and Bluetooth mice and trackballs.

The utility is bundled with compatible ELECOM input devices and provides a centralized control panel for multi-device setups where users may own multiple ELECOM mice or trackballs.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionELECOM Mouse Assistant 5 is a preference pane component that installs into macOS System Settings, not a standalone app. This version was released in 2017 and runs only on Intel Macs — ELECOM has published a newer version 6 (released January 2025) that supports native Apple Silicon builds on macOS 13 and later. To update, you need to reinstall ELECOM Mouse Assistant 6 from ELECOM's download page for your mouse model. The v6 installer will automatically uninstall the older v5 preference pane during setup. Note that ELECOM Mouse Assistant v5 and v6 may conflict if your mouse is compatible with both versions, so ensure you are installing v6 and not leaving v5 side-by-side. Check ELECOM's site to confirm that your specific mouse model is supported under v6 before upgrading, as some older ELECOM mice are only compatible with v5. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), v5 will stop working on that release, so migrating to v6 is necessary to maintain mouse customization support.
