It will just automatically overwrite old versions without a problem, correct? I'm sure it does, but I don't want to ruin the nirvana you've already given me.

Hey thanks a lot Bumblebees, just got my new Macbook and was scared when I couldnt find a way to disable mouse accel for the life of me. You saved me!

Edit: Logitech MX518 here if we're taking notes. No mouse software installed, just plug-and-play.

Hey man,
I have a strange bug with the deathadder: when I set the polling to 125 (to prevent the skipping) and do fast moves the mouse seems to get stuck right where the movement started. Its kind of like an invisible line across the screen the mouse can't cross. Do you know anything about this bug and how to get rid of it?
Your fix didn't change this behaviour, but apart from that the movement feels smoother now. Didn't try SC2 yet.
I use the razer drivers v2.02. 3.0 drivers gives me an unspecific error during installation.

Thanks for your work.

Read the thread, still don't really get it.

I have the logitech mx518. I also have USB Overdrive installed at the moment.

Will this work with my mouse? And if so, do I use USB Overdrive to set mouse speed etc, or do I uninstall USB Overdrive and use the OSX mouse prefs, or do I just use the DPI buttons on the mouse itself or what exactly?

Sorry for being dim!

Hey everyone,
Can anyone confirm if this works for the Razer Abyssus? I just got mine and even with USB overdrive its driving me crazy with the little amount of acceleration that's enough to put someone over the edge.

EDIT: I downloaded and installed the program for use with my Abyssus. It seems as though it ignores any sensitivity I set in any of the games I play (SC2 and TF2, for example.) Is there any way to bypass this while enjoying the benefits of mouse accel elimination that this program offers?

Ok so, no USB overdrive. install mousefixer. Ignore OSX mouse settings. Set SC2 Options mouse to 0%. Set dpi manually with buttons on mouse. ??? profit.

got it. Thanks for the advice!

There's an artist version of me? Nice. No I'm just the regular garden-variety model.

You have to adjust sensitivity via DPI settings with your mouse. There should be a toggle on the bottom of your razer abyssus to adjust DPI.

Unfortunately, there is no way for mousefixer to work while allowing sensitivity settings in games. It's a very unfortunate fact of how OSX and Open GL work I could easily fix it given the source code to the games, or if I wanted to create a hack for the games, but neither of those things will occur.

This is probably the best that can be done until apple decides to fix it themselves, and it's definitely a fix. You can find the code that handles mouse ballistics in OS X with some sleuthing. It's pretty funny code. Comments like "Not sure how this works, but it seems to make stuff better". Yeah... NeXT carry over garbage



Gotcha. Good thing 1800 DPI is enough for me to be able to adjust to. So just to clarify, changing the sensitivity settings of anything in game to anything other than 0% will fudge the results? This remains constant in SC2 and TF2 for instance? Thanks.
It's actually fairly disgusting really. Every notch on the OS X mouse speed settings has a DIFFERENT ACCELERATION CURVE! Unlike enhance pointer precision in Windows which keeps the same curve but changes the mapping.
