I sent feedback, bug report to apple and signed even a petition online. I even bought 6 mouses during 2 years to try kensington, logitech and microsoft drivers with different DPI values. Until now, I read all the articles on the net and trying to find a solution, unfortunately neither the single command lines (killthemouseaccel) to shareware programs like steermouse or usb drive doesn't work like the XP does.

This is a real problem for MAC when you switch from XP as I am switched 3 years ago. I really encourage everyone having issues with mice on the Mac to contact Apple and log the case. I've even toss a well-worded mail off to Steve's address, just to say I've done all I could. I've given feedback on the official OS X feedback form. They just haven't prioritized it as an issue. Apple is, as Steve says, an 'engineering company'-they know solutions to fix this problem (such as an optional Windows curve mouse setting). MANY switchers have a very real and serious comfort issue with mice on Mac OS. I find this frustrating, because a Google search or a search on these very forums makes the issue fairly obvious. They seemed totally unaware of the problem. I have called Apple Care about this issue, if for nothing else than report the case. Unfortunately, the Intellipoint drivers for Mac don't do that. Otherwise Windows uses a curve of its own which feels much better than the relatively unnatural linear acceleration. Windows only uses linear acceleration if 'Enhance Pointer Precision' is disabled. Many say that this is the solution if you use a Microsoft mouse, but it's also an oversimplification. Certainly not 'it just works.'ģ.) The Microsoft Intellipoint drivers do optionally replace the acceleration curve with linear acceleration. Every time you switch mice, you need to re-write your acceleration curve. Kudos to the author on this one, but frankly I find it just too obnoxious to use regularly.

I've done the research into alternative drivers and understand the issue with the Mac OS mouse acceleration curve well (the shape of the acceleration curve at slow speeds is substantially different than Windows).ġ.) USBOverdrive, SteerMouse, and derivatives of MouseFix all just allow you to adjust acceleration with some major adjustment of the acceleration curve, but none of this exactly copies the Windows curve.Ģ.) There is software out there (the name escapes me right now) that allows you to re-write the acceleration curve form scratch.

I have done just about everything that a customer can do about this issue.
