Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center

I just bought a Macbook Air, but I currently have a Microsoft mouse that I've been using. On a Windows computer, I can download Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center to customize the buttons on my mouse. Is there anything comparable to this for a Mac that would be compatible with my Microsoft mouse?

How to customise a mouse’s buttons on macOS 10.15+? I would like to use a recent Razer mouse for my 2016 MacBook Pro with 10.15.7 (and possibly soon 11.x). It is official from Razer that they will not develop Synapse 3 for macOS and the v2 doesn’t support Catalina. Is there any 3rd party software (modern, updated and supported by an existing team) that allows users to customise whatever mouse is connected to the Mac? Thanks

How can I change default mouse buttons on a non-mac mouse? I have a wireless usb mouse (not bluetooth) that I specifically purchased because it has extra side buttons I want to use to create key-bindings for gaming. There are two Mouse Side Buttons. I was able to change Mouse Side Button two (the most forward one), but Mouse Side Button 1 defaults to the same thing as the F3 Key ("show desktop"). I am trying to figure out how to remove this functionality from the button so I can reassign it to something actually useful. I already have a button on my kepboard for this and would rather assign it to something else. The preferences > Mouse options dont even show side buttons to change so Im not sure where this mouse got the idea that I want that button assigned as an additional F3 key. Any advice would be appreciated. macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 MacBook Pro (16 inch 2019) 2.4 ghz 8 core intel core i9 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 AMD Radeon Pro 5500m 8 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

Microsoft apps for this Microsoft product for use with macOS, apparently not.

Last of that I’m aware of was many years ago.

From a few years back, possible alternatives:

Whether any of these work on current macOS Big Sur, I don’t know.

Apple skews heavily toward trackpads and trackpad gestures in recent years.
