I installed your program on my 24' imac, and it works great in SC2 using my Razer Deathadder! Unfortunately, every time I reset my computer (since I installed the Deathadder software) it sets the system tracking speed to slowest.


I have my Deathadder sensitivity set as high as it will go and 1800 dpi, but it is still not sensitive enough outside of SC2. When I use SC2, it becomes ridiculously more sensitive (I had to adjust it down to 3% in game).

Is there ANY way to make it more sensitive outside of SC2? The DA software just isn't giving me enough juice to get across this big screen! Is there a way to adjust system preferences AND use your software?



Please set your in game speed to %1.

If you deathadder goes above 1800dpi (most are 3500 aren't they?) Set it to that, and use the sensitivity in the driver panel. If your mouse is maxed dpi and it's still too slow, buy a new mouse.

I strongly suggest reading the thread, and the readme included with the program.


The older DA only goes to 1800. I found a solution though. If you install version 2.02 of the DA, it will not reset your Mac system preferences sensitivity to 0 upon reset (newer versions do). So I just adjusted my system preferences and re-ran your fixer.

Thanks for your help on this, you rule bro - This fix has definitely uped my micro game 100%.

Yes. It works quite well with steel series products. I've personally tried the kinzu and xai. The kinzu has hardware level acceleration, so at best you'll get the same response as windows.

I'd also like to note that the readme says, "For now I have only tested with Razer devices." That simply means all I tested was Razer devices, not that only Razer devices work.

Using it with a Xai, no complaints, works well ^.^

Hi guys im using this on DeathAdder Mac version at 1800dpi and 500hz polling rate.

As i've read on other posts, i tried to set polling at 125hz, but the tracking problem persists also after new mousepad and mouse cleaning. Could u plz tell me, to mantain the windows feeling in order to conservate the proportion with in game sensitivity configs, which sensitivity is good with a 500 hz setting?

However i've notice that at low speed, the mouse is not as linear as at high. Some suggestions? Is it a polling rate set thing?

If some quakers read this plz write me down your experience to let me know how u did

However thanks for the job. Next work i get i send u some bucks

Hoping this removes the accursed mouse acceleration in 10.5.8. It's been preventing me from using a mouse in OSX. Does this work for Logitech mice as well?

In my experience it does get youthe windows feel.

Yeah it should though I read in this thread that you would need to uninstall your LCC (logitech Command Center).

You did not mention if you've tried this mouse fix here or if you having problems with it. Please specify.

I've also read in several places that 125Hz is the way to go on mac so I would keep it that. Mind you your polling rate doesn't affect your sensitivity or acceleration and there is no necessary dpi-to-polling rate ratio you need to worry about.

I agree with you I've noticed much more acceleration with low sensitivity than high, I think its just more obvious when you're playing with low; since you will tend to swipe faster than if you were using high and moving the mouse slightly to make as large a turn (more the difference in the speed of your swiping, the more obvious the acceleration becomes).

this works but my mouse is too slow. I just use a generic USB mouse. Is there any way to speed up my sensitivity?

Hi, i found this thread through googling, and i would love to use your tool to play sc2 on my mac. im using a razer copperhead mouse with no special drivers, but with this tool to fix the mouse acceleration (outside of games):
http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/02/kill-os-x-mouse-acceleration-from-the-command-line/

as known, mouse acceleration will reset once i start sc2. i downloaded your tool and installed it, but nothing changed. i also dont see any special prefpane in the preferences. am i doing something wrong, or is my mouse not supported?

Are you using leopard? Since it's only compatible with 10.6+ (snow leopard and up) that might be the problem.
If you are using 10.6+ then check if you have /Library/LaunchAgents/com.bumblebees.mousefixer.plist

You should also check if the process is running by looking for "Mousefixer2" in your Activity Monitor.

If either one of the two things is missing then I would assume it's an installation problem. If both things are present then Im not sure what it could be, do let us know if thats the case maybe something can be figured out.

Thanks bumblebees!

I’m currently using a junky old microsoft mouse on OS X 10.7—and the acceleration was infuriating me. After I set the mouse to max sensitivity, installed your app, and restarted, the mouse is linear, but it's deathly slow and I have no way of changing it’s speed without using the system preferences, which of course kills the linear settings.

However… if I uninstall the application and restart, then I have linear motion and fast mouse speed again, until I restart again and it’s gone. Do you know why this might be? It’s wonderful when it's linear and fast.

Maybe I should just buy a better mouse, so I can adjust it's settings in the mouse drivers…

Hey, I've experienced problems after updating with patch 1.4. The mouse seems to stick to certain points, so mouse movement is extremely erratic and jittery. It works fine on the login screen, though once logged in the mouse movement just goes haywire.

I'm running OS X 10.6.8, with a steelseries kinzu.

Any ideas on what i might be doing wrong? :/

It's a well documented issue in 1.4. It is occurring on OS X and Windows.

There are plenty of threads about it on the battle.net forums.

It's because you don't have linear motion when you restart. Your brain is tricking you. I've had a few people say this and every time it's turned out that they simply were victims of change bias, The mouse was non-linear but a different sensitivity, which is what should happen.

What you describe would be impossible on OS X without another third party app causing something to happen. OS X has NO "sensitivity" at all. Everything is controlled by accelerated ballistics. There is absolutely no linear multiplier in any of the mouse code EXCEPT at the very lowest setting of the mouse pane in system preferences, which is sssllllooooowwww.

FWIW I think I have sensitivity code working in 3.0. I had a revelation in a narcolepsy-nap stupor and it appears to be quite the ingenious hack :D

Hi Bumblebees, great work on this nifty app.

Would it be possible to leave the acceleration on as normal on trackpad while keeping the mouse linear?
