Could you build this?

Partial The settings UI is easy to build, but making a Magic Mouse behave like a trackpad depends on low-level macOS multitouch input handling that vibe coding alone is unlikely to get right.

What it would actually take: This requires a native macOS app that hooks into the multitouch and HID input stack, likely through private frameworks, plus event-tap and accessibility permissions. Getting low latency and reliable gesture recognition on Apple Silicon takes systems programming experience with macOS input internals and ongoing maintenance across OS updates.
