With USB Overdrive it does not cancel out acceleration. Does not matter if i check or uncheck the acceleration box, and the sliders on acceleration and sensitivity has no impact on the mouse movement what so ever. Enable/Disable USB Overdrive does not seem to have any effect either.

Long story short: With USB Overdrive the acceleration is still there, and no settings in USB Overdrive has any effect on mouse movement.

I use a Steelseries Xai.

Holy ! It actually worked !!!
Using a Steelseries XAI here.

I've been struggling to find a solution to the dreaded mouse cursor problem in osx in ages... Tried ControllerMate, modding Microsoft drivers, usb overdrive, steermouse... none worked. This works great ! mouse movement same as windows.

Bumblebees, by dpi setting on the mouse you meant the one from windows right ? Because I had it set in windows and in osx just installed MouseFixer and in worked !

I'm sorry I didn't respond! I only bookmarked this thread to return to later when I figured you might have a public release (I've been too busy to do much testing work for you anyways).

I am happy to report that I just installed this and ran two games. The transition from desktop to SC2 was seamless and I even minimized to start iTunes (a real treat since I've been unable to listen to music on my Windows partition since my Internet is too slow/shaky to stream music alongside the game) and queue up some music. Incredible job! As far as I can tell this is pretty much spot on what I get in Windows 7. There seem to be just a few moments where the control is different, but this is probably just some hiccup on the part of OS X -- I think you've done as well as is humanly possible. (Note also that I set this to 125hz -- as recommended -- and 1800dpi while I normally go up one hz setting in Windows.)

The games went smoothly and were pretty close to what I'm used to. I'm pretty sure that the shakiness I experienced was just that OS X can't run the game as smoothly as Windows 7 because of all of that wonderful graphics processing (hmm . . . maybe I'll be all über pro and switch to low settings from medium).

Thank you so much for this! You are a gentleman and a scholar. I might still be on Windows 7 a lot to play because of that shakiness thing that OS X causes (and because of osu!, lol), but now I have a completely legitimate option in OS X and won't be annoyed by constant switching!

New version up. Slightly better installer and a fairly major performance increase.

Uninstall usb overdrive.

This works fantastic with the Xai on its own. I have 20+ reports of it working fantastic with that mouse. Use the dpi setting on the mouse to adjust sensitivity, and it is identical to windows with the same settings of the mouse.

Let me know if you still have trouble.

Only problem with this is that without USB Overdrive, I can't use the mouse's sidebuttons go go back/forward in the browser, which I can't live without But maybe good cursor movement trumps that.
