Not a placebo. I strictly use 6/11 windows speed with 1800 DPI and after the registry fix something definitely felt different when I moved the cursor. It's not that different as I'm already used to it, though you'll still have to do a bit of fine tuning on your muscle memory.

Can someone confirm that windows 7 actually has acceleration of some sort?

I used the regfix.exe and don't really notice anything.

You actually just fucked up my mouse.. o_o;;

The hexidecimal values are 100% correct but my mouse is flying from corner to corner.

Same here, It feels kind of slower now. Will test it in a few games soon.

Can't you access all of this with the Logitech driver, for those who have it? I've turned off acceleration in there.

i think using the mouse movement recorder in markc fix is best way to see if u have acel.
it gives me 1:1 mouse: pointer movement ratio by just disabling enhanced pointer precision in win7 options.

It does make your mouse a bit slower on the same DPI, since it turns off the artificial acceleration Windows provided.

However, it makes your mouse strokes 100% predictable, which, as explained in the OP, can't be achieved with pointer enhancement turned on.

Windows 7 doesn't need anything beyond unchecking enhanced pointer precision except for games way older than SC2.

True, but fixing the registry makes your mouse behave the same regardless of what you're doing, including surfing the web or, as you mentioned, playing older games.

Too bad there isn't a reliable way to do this on Macs... I've tried like 10 different things, and all they've done is reduce my mouse sensitivity, not actually acceleration.... yippee. D:

Hey guys. I've had the mouse acceleration fix active for a while, and its been really great. However, I just recently bought a new mouse, and I feel like i'm getting less precision out of it. None of the settings have changed in regards to my mouse settings though, so i'm wondering if it has anything to do with the drivers the mouse installed, or perhaps its simply because its a different mouse.. Anyone have any idea? ^_^

I just did this and WOW the difference is crazy... I've had to turn the pointer speed down a notch because the speed/distance the cursor moves when i move the mouse like 1cm is WAY faster/further than with the 'enhance pointer precision' on.
