Smoothmouse alternative driver#

I searched for Magic Mouse 2 alternative driver and found. So I can't feasibly work with a mouse which tracks this slowly. I have about 15cm of mousepad available while typing this right now. Again, this is down to personal preference, but I work in a lab, and there is always a chronic shortage of desk space. This does disable mouse acceleration, but leaves the mouse completely useless for many users as it then tracks extremely slowly. The commonly quoted solution is to type defaults write.

I would be interested to know what percentage of the OS X user community have serious problems with it, and what percentage have just re-learned how to use a mouse.Īnyway, hate to appear to be a biased Apple basher, but this is one of a few reasons why I don't use an OS X computer to do my serious work. I don't understand why Apple decided to add mouse acceleration without a way of disabling it in the system preferences. *I'm not opposed to new ideas, but for me mouse acceleration is a bad one. You wouldn't be very happy in that job, and you wouldn't work efficiently either. Perhaps this is subject to personal preference, but for those of us who have been using mice for our entire lives (20 + years) with no acceleration, it is just impossible to adjust to anything different.* If you don't understand my complaint, imagine you have been using a US or UK keyboard layout for your entire life and type without looking at the keyboard, and then your next employer insists that you type only using a French layout keyboard. I struggle with the new OS X mouse driver, with the magic mouse 2, as it has mouse acceleration, which I really, really cannot stand. I have now found a solution to my problem which I am satisfied with, and so I have added a question and answer on askdifferent in the hope of helping future users. I have been searching for an answer to this question for a few days.
