Custom mouse acceleration for Mac OS X pointer devices
Mouse Curve App - It's done when it's done?
Submitted by zany on Sun, 09/19/2010 - 18:04
The Mouse Curve App is making good progress and I'm hoping to release a beta sometime soon. (Big thanks to all the brave volunteers for beta testing!)
The foundation is mostly stable now and all should be safe to use. I'm working on implementing details and a simple and easy user interface now.
So when is it done?
I'm hacking and coding this just for the fun of it. It's not a commercial project and thus no revenue as incentive or project plan to drive me. The pace entirely depends on my free time and if I feel like coding…
But I recon that's hardly fair if you are eagerly waiting for a solution.
I've set up a Pledgie account for Custom Mouse Curve on Mac OS X now. This way you can encourage me to fast pace this. If the campaign runs well I'll make sure to put in needed extra hours to get the app done quickly! I.e. I'll have the beta released at around 50% of the pledge and the first public release will match the overall pledge progress :)

Why not finish it and charge a fee for the finished project, rather than asking people to pay for something that doesn't exist?
Agreed. Just finish and charge for it. This looks like this is the only app of its kind to offer the presets in this manner -- I'd pay for this easy if you charged.
Pledgie account, great idea! I just donated!
Running an open source project, I understand how those donations can speed up development. As the previous poster mentions, though, I do feel like I gave something for nothing. Is there a way I can become a beta tester?
In any case, thanks! I can't wait till it is done!
I'm a recent mac owner and I bought a Magic Mouse with my mbp. I think that's a beautiful piece of hardware but it doesn't get the software management that it deserves. Your app could do the trick for sure!
I really want to help you (and get your app earlier, let's say truth) so I'm offering you to translate your app in french.
I would love to test the beta. this is an app that needs to be done for all who can´t stand the acceleration problem.
I just donated via Pledgie, and will be more than willing to pay more for a finished solution. Please let me know how I can participate in the beta when/if appropriate! God Bless You sir!
Made a donation. :)
I really don't like current acceleration curve--it's such a pain.

I agree with the previous poster.
