If you have a driver panel, adjust settings there for DPI and sensitivity. If you do not... well, sorry. OS X is a weird beast when it comes to mouse input. I'm waiting to hear from USB overdrive users how it works with the sensitivity option in there. | ||

The speed slider does not seem to have any effect whatsoever on the sensitivity. However, once the Acceleration slider is enabled (box checked), the sensitivity drops to almost nothing (Like 1 foot of mouse movement = 1cm cursor movement). After I unchecked and rechecked the acceleration box, the sensitivity problem went away. So now having acceleration checked keeps normal sensitivity but DOES enable acceleration. | ||

Now I can use my mouse properly and not have to deal with the horrible accel curve :D | ||

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. | ||

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. 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.  | ||

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 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! | ||

You can also do it on the mouse, without having to boot into windows. | ||

Great to hear. There will be minor hiccups because some OGL games will struggle to take over control of the mouse. It can a short time (no longer than 2x your polling interval, so about 16ms for 125hz). These should only occur when switching back and forth between stuff, and should be fairly rare. | ||

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. | ||

That could be a solution for you. Could you uninstall usb overdrive temporarily and tell me if other applications recognize your back/forward buttons on your Xai? General gaming apps like steam games, ventrilo/mumble/teamspeak/skype, blizzard games etc.. thank you | ||
