Mouse Acceleration Preference Pane for Mac OS X

oh my f**** god, u made my day......

i've bought a magic mouse and was about to throw it out of the window, cos the mouse acc. nearly drove me insane....

vielen dank ^^

-1x is perfect for acceleration but to much speed for mouse movement. There´s no different in velocity with -0.1x

Can you put other scroll to adjust it?
Thanks!

I just wanted to come back here and thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful tiny piece of software.

I've been a Mac user for about 6 months and the mouse acceleration made me life on a Mac miserable. A pain. I absolutely hate the way macs handle acceleration. It's like you drag your cursor in a layer of mud when you need precision slow movement, and if you are a designer you are in deep s***. Macs are wonderful but it's unbelievable how they can go sooooo wrong with a basic extremely important feature like the mouse cursor movement! At least you should be able to turn it off without third party plugins, but noooooo...

I managed to survive these 6 months by using different scripts and settled to one that I had to restart myself after each reboot (several times a day). It was a pain but I could get my cursor to move as it should. After installing your software I can finally start my mac and do my work immediately without worring about the shitty acceleration every time.

I find it funny and interesting that some of my friends that also switched to macs recently find the new acceleration normal and not different from windows. How's that possible? Are we so different as human beings? Are we more sensible or are they too ignorant? :)

Downloaded 1.1 and installed it on 10.5. Now I'm trying to uninstall it. However I can't seem to find the file MouseAcceleration.prefPane in that location. Neither does spotlight. Am I missing something? :)

thanks alot, this works (ive tried usboverdrive, intellimouse-driver, steermouse, nothing was satisfying)!

just for curiousity: is there a way to uninstall the mousefix and the preferance pane? sorry if thats a dumb question, but im all new to osx.

Hey I've been checking your site since: Mon, 2010-03-08 10:34. Which you've gotta admit, is a long time, and there still isn't a fix for the auto start bug in 10.6, I really do appreciate that you do this in your own time and I'm in no way trying to sound ungrateful. But please fix this issue! it drives me crazy having to re-enable your prefpane settings every time I turn on my mac.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks, this was the thing that most annoyed me when switching from XP to OSX!

Hi guys if your irritated by the mac mouse acceleration too, then please sign this Petition. We need a change this problem and apple needs to know that!!

Thank you and let us hope ^ ^

Thank you so much.

I hate apple for not allowing me to change the settings that I need to be able to to make their stuff useable. Your prefpane has finally fixed my mouse issues!!

Keep up the great work.

Thanks a lot, i listen to so many music files a day and this app helped me A LOT. I use Snow leopard.

I found setting to -6 created linear movement on 10.6.2

The mouse acceleration prefpane works quite well. But it would be nice to have the possibility to set the overall mouse speed and the acceleration curve independently,
Currently I use 0.1 for my mouse. So this is smallest possible acceleration. The problem is, that the mouse cursor moves quite slow, even if i move the mouse very fast.

Finally, a solution for SL that actually works!

on startup in 10.6.2 it requests to startup
and the preferences are not loaded but the slider is in the saved position (just clicking on the slider reactivates the preference)

i really quite like -0.1x (very natural!)
hope to see the bugs fixed!

zany - In the Snow Leopard version, does the -1.0x setting essentially mean that the inverse of the acceleration effect is applied, thus cancelling it out?

Thanks so much. Just what I've been looking for.

Is there a way to make this thing turn on automaticly at login?

Even though I have turn on the "enable mouse acceleration after login" button. I need to open the app and click on the mouse acceleration scroller before it starts working.

I found was I was doing wrong, which was reading the last check box text too quickly...

Thanks for this tool. I do wish I could speed the mouse up beyond "6" however.

I'm using 10.5.8. With this pref pane installed all I get are two speed sliders, one for Mouse and one for Trackpad. How do I disable acceleration? Also, a speed of 6 is still too slow for me when I'm using a large (24 or more) display.

I'm considering reverting back to leopard to try this solution!

I really dont understand Apples judgemenent on this acceleration case. Their logic behind the curve might be sound, even better than other system's curves. But forcing us to get used to it, when we might have been using another curve for god knows how long, retraining my neurons to accept new curve aint happening, when it surely can be changed on the computer much faster.
And besides, if they want me to get used to their "better" curve and have me train my neurons or whatever you call the stuff in my brains, I'm exposing my body to LOTS of toxic waste as I'm getting agitated everytime I overshoot or undershoot my intended target.

Let me chose my curve please.

I was wondering if anyone has a script or software the makes the mouse invisible across the board. yes i have tried left and right shift then space but that wont work on finder. I need it to work with any app. I have tried Cursorcerer and it kinda works i was wondering if anyone has an app that works better.
