Works beautifully for the original apple magic mouse i had paired with my mac. Doesn't with this arbitrary dell usb mouse ):

Also, my mouse randomly disappears in game and the side scrolling seems to only work 50% of the time. Curse you apple !

Because most if not all good 3d games use directx, and macs are ridiculously expensive, primarily because you cannot build your own, nor do the desktops come with proper graphics cards either. Hackintosh computers make sense if you like the OS, but they're the vast minority.

Basically:
Prebuilts for games -> wtf no.
Mobile gpus for games -> are you feeling ok?
Combined -> ... need I say more?

I'm specifically referring to the "desktop" macs, not laptops, which aren't at all geared for games. Apple laptops are quite good for what they do imo, compared to the poorly built crap from most vendors these days.

I use a Windows box at home for gaming, but I'm currently setup at my workplace with a MBP. For obvious reasons, I don't lug my desktop from home back and forth between work just for after-hour gaming sessions. I'd dual-boot into windows / linux, but installing a driver is so much easier.

Why wouldn't I try to game on a mac if I own one?

Have both, like OSX better, do all my work here, much easier to jump in and out of bnet on my main machine than to fire up the pc and play there. Basically I only play on the Windows machine now if there is some really bleeding edge game I'm desperate to try; and even then mostly its just easier to bootcamp.

Just want to give some attention to this project: http://d43.me/blog/1410/looking-for-brains/
Anyone who games somewhat frequently on a mac would be interested in this I would assume.

Bumping to confirm this patch works in Mac OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion as flawlessly as it does in Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Tested with a Razer DeathAdder 3.5G (the regular non-Mac edition), with a recent MacBook Pro's trackpad and with a generic 1000dpi USB optical mouse, all good.

I haven't tested it in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion because I hate that version of the operating system (that damned auto-save).

So those who had problems in 10.7 might want to upgrade their OS to the 10.8 version

This is the first fix that actually works! I've tried USB Overdrive, Decelerator, Thank you Bumblebees. How can I donate?

Also, how can I disable it while in the normal operating system. The acceleration is useful in photoshop etc. Also, is the source for this on Github?

Thanks again!

You could seek to re-enable acceleration, i'd just say lower your DPI with 1:1 tracking and no pixel skipping until you can comfortably select individual pixels on your screen. This happens to me about 1k DPI (maybe 1.5k with fingertip grip), which is right about where the "best" sensitivity range is for gaming performance - depending on preference and grip, i'd say anything in the 400-1600 range is about right. The majority of people have incorrect settings that introduce positive and/or negative acceleration and cause pixel skipping or other tracking inconsistencies and problems but this thread fixes that i think, forced tracking equivalent to middle setting in windows.

Thanks - I can't adjust my magicmouse though. As soon as I move anything in the control panel, it snaps back.

The magic mouse is better than my Razer in OSX because of the scrolling up down/left right.

You have to reboot for it to work; it's probably just a background service that's being started when your Mac starts.

Is this still relevant in 2013? (for all peripheral brands)?

Cheers.

Yes, and since people keep asking, information on how to donate is listed in the file you download. You can also PM me on TL.
