Mouse Acceleration Preference Pane for Mac OS X

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.

That would be absolute great. My Mouse makes me go mad.
I'd just need to turn acceleration off and adjust the mouse speed.

I tried the terminal command (see below), which disabled the acc. very nicely, but its far too fast on my MagicMouse.
Setting it to another value by use of the Mouse.prefpane results in reverting to normal Apple acceleration. :-(

any news regarding a new version for OSX 10.6?

I have removed the pref. pane (by right clicking it in system prefs and selecting "remove"), and I am still getting its effects. I'm trying to simply restore the curve to its default setting. without having to reinstall os x. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

controllermate fix my problem on the mouse acceleration curve, it feels like I am using mouse in windows. However it does not help with the trackpad acceleration.

Both USB Overdrive and the Microsoft Mouse Driver provide natural mouse feeling (like on windows). Perhaps you can look into these two apps?

Maybe the solution would be to write your own driver? It doesn't have to be very complicated. Perhaps it's possible to create a driver that just optimizes the speed and acceleration and hands of other stuff the the generic Mac OS X mouse driver?

So, do you believe it will be at all possible to replicate Windows mouse "feel" (acceleration, speed) in 10.6, like this PrefPane apparently did in 10.4?

I can't even begin to explain how excited I am at the prospect of getting Windows-like mouse acceleration in Mac OS X! Since switching to Mac OS with Jaguar, this is one of the few things I have always missed from Windows. Tweaking SteerMouse and USBOverdrive has never quite given me the Windows mouse feel back, so I'm praying this will.

Have you had any luck identifying a way to make this work in Snow Leopard? So looking forward to trying this once you do. God bless you sir! May the Mac gods rain blessings down upon you.

How do you uninstall the pref pane ? I have snow leopard and it crashes every time i open a session

Please can you make mouse accel 64 bit.

Vastly improved over Apple's lame settings but still needs further refined to make it capable of true linear tracking.

Your scale factor is out by 1.0. For example, the 0.1 setting should reduce the mouse speed by a factor of 10.0 but it does not do so. Not that that would be useful. What would be useful is a scale factor that is 1.0 at all speeds.

What appears to be happening, in the linear mode, is actually a two speed mode. At slow speeds the pointer tracks the mouse 1:1, and at faster motion the mouse's speed is multiplied by (the scale factor + 1.0).

So, if either the built-in +1.0 could be removed from the calculation or the scale setting could be set to 0.0, that would likely do the job.

I downloaded this to turn off acceleration for FPS gaming on the mac (had previously used steermouse). The speed slider works instantly but when you set the acceleration to zero i.e 100% linear, it still accelerates. Any fix?

Not working in 10.6 (for me)

Thank you so much for this application.
Made my life much more easier !

what is the default setting on macbooks? It would be a nice feature to have a "normal" or "mouse" toggle where you can switch between acceleration and normal

why it switch to the default speed when i click out of the window of the prefpane?
