I play SC2 on a macbook pro and I recently got a Razer Lachesis. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any mac-compatible software for this model. I don't need to program any of the buttons, I just want to remove the mouse acceleration. I have turned off all acceleration on my computer but the mouse itself seems to have some acceleration built in. How do I remove this?

Go get a sledgehammer, use it to hit the macbook 10 times, make sure you get in good and hard hits. Then when your done order yourself a new PC. Then you can just go into control panel and turn off mouse accelleration
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

Wow how uncalled for. Great advice to get out there.
Good thing you wouldn't get new PC just to play games like the aforementioned man. I wouldn't be able to answer to mouse acceleration thing for the Razer mouse itself, but do you have a copy of Windows? I swear Windows on my Macbook runs SC2 better anyway.

I'm actually in the same bind. I've been looking all over on how to remove the acceleration, but am still stuck.

I'm sure Blizzard spent more optimizing the Windows version of SC2 than Mac.
But its the sole reason I have windows (which I have obtained for free) on it. However, I use my computer more than Starcraft, and hence I have a Mac.

Here is one useful post for this thread:

I'm using SteerMouse application, it's great but it's not free.
USB Overdrive is another app which is also great and free.
Both apps allow to disable mouse acceleration btw.

Curse people like Roflhaxx which think that mac are not for gaming ... you are living in a world when PC and Mac were separated by RISC and CISC processors.

Are you sure you have turned off the acceleration? There are a couple of preference panes that actually turn it off for you, such as the mouse acceleration prefpane (http://triq.net/articles/mouse-acceleration-preference-pane-mac-os-x) or USB Overdrive.

Mac OS is inferior to Windows when it comes to gaming and that is general knowledge, macs however got programs that are good for video stuff.

Open your terminal.

Copy paste/write these commands:

defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.trackpad.scaling -1


This should turn off acceleration for good on your mac.

Regarding the Mouse im pretty sure u get a disc to install the mouse on to ur computer and this gives u a whole range of settings u can change on the mouse. try going on that and just customizing it so it work with whatever settings u got.

or get a PC

I have been working at the mouse acceleration problem for many weeks with minimal success until I found this out by accident. It isn't the greatest solution, but it is one and hell its about time. I have been working on this problem with both a razer deathadder mouse (with software) and a more standard mouse without software.

I have found a solution to this problem I think

As far as i know this will work any mouse, I have tried it on two so far (thats all I have so I will let you guys do the extensive research) and had success with both. What you need for a razor mouse (or any mouse with its own software) is to download and install the software and disable mouse acceleration from within the program. Then from here all you need to do is open up StarCraft 2 and make it fullscreen. You should notice all of your settings have been lost. Fear Not! If you unplug your mouse and replug it in again, the software you have downloaded will override StarCraft 2 and revert back to no acceleration. This will mean that your mouse speed and such will be dictated by the 3rd party software and the StarCraft 2 tracking speed will be useless.

If you don't have a mouse with 3rd party drivers, you aren't out of luck. If you download USB Overdrive it will act as your 3rd party software and override StarCraft 2 with the same process. Make sure the "acceleration" box is checked and the slider is set to the lowest. Then load Starcraft 2 up and then unplug your mouse and replug it.

USB Overdrive:

This should solve your mac mouse acceleration problems! It certainly did for me! If you have any questions PM me.
