I must give a THANK YOU to you for this little Mousefixer. I have a simple Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500 and I just downloaded MouseFixer and installed it and it is a LOT better. It's not perfect but I will need to do a few adjustments to the DPI of this mouse using Intellipoint for OSX and then keep running MouseFix after each change until I get this mouse 100% comfortable.
Mouse behaviour has been driving me MAD in OSX. I am a long time windows user (since Dos 1.0 days) and switched to OSX about 9 months ago for various reasons. Mouse behaviour has been a big problem and although the OSX community has said "you'll get used to it" ... 9 months and I still cannot adjust and it really affects the way I work and makes me feel like there's something wrong in my brain that I cannot control the mouse. There is just no getting used to a mouse that feels like it is stuck in mud.
The biggest issue for me is the decelleration, ie. as you approach a button the mouse slows down and feels like it is stuck in mud. Many users report this and Apple seems to just ignore it. Their forums are full of complaints about this.
I love OSX but I can say purely on their lack of ways to adjust the mouse, they certainly cannot call themselves the worlds most advanced OS, I mean really, not only can you not adjust settings of the mouse properly using their pref pane, but you cannot even change the pointer or make it bigger ... how stupid is that? Any windows user will know you have been able to do any number of changes to mouse customisation since Windows 3.1 days already but OSX seems stuck in some dark cave when it comes to the mouse.
I can give Microsoft one big head jump over OSX and that is Microsoft's continual R&D into accessibility, into making computers as comfortable as possible. Apple does not seem to hink this is important and spends 90% of their time on making things PRETTY. OSX is way more stable than any windows desktop OS I ever used but Microsoft is ahead on computing friendliness to their customers.
Anyways, enough of my ranting.
Thanks again and I'll keep a watch on any newer versions of this you may release.

After getting a higher end gaming mouse (the Razer Orochi) I noticed how significant mouse acceleration was. It was hurting my game and I could not play starcraft 2 anymore. After scouring the internet I came across this program and I am relieved to say that it has done wonders for me! It will never feel completely like a PC but it is so much better now. I can play the game with hardly any mouse acceleration and the game is fun for me again!
Something I have taken note of. It has been awhile since I read the "Read me" bit included in the download, but if I am not mistaken it said do not change your settings as the program would discontinue working? Again it has been awhile so I can't verify this. But what I have found out is that I can use the buttons on my mouse to set my sensitivity. The program does not over run this. This has been very nice in getting that perfect DPI set for my liking.
So thank you so much for making this program. I am finally able to play starcraft! It is a nice bonus that the program doesn't happen to over run my mouses quick touch DPI change buttons. It has been handy.

Hi everyone!
Well, this is my first post on TL and I think I could share my experiences about playing sc2 on a Macbook Pro ... which is ... well ... not really satisfying for me at all.
I am usually playing sc2 on my Windows PC, but sometimes I have to play on my Macbook Pro mid 2010 which can be very annoying due to the default mouse settings in Mac OS X. I think I am not the only one who thinks that the mouse precision under OS X is worse than under Windows.
By default, there is no option for configuring the mouse acceleration in OS X. Sure, there are a lot of third party apps for this out there, but for this week the program "Decelerator" is offered for free in the Mac App Store and I think I can recommend it.
With the "Decelerator" you can configure the mouse acceleration, which actually helps me a lot. For playing sc2 I'll disable the acceleration in the future. It makes me feel that the mouse moves a little bit more accurate in the game.
Hope this helps a few people 
Regards
Mani

Thank you so much.
I'm like DerMani where i usually go PC but when I'm out of town I'll play some rounds on the powerbook. This stupid feature almost made me give up on laddering when on my laptop. The mouse acceleration bs made hitting the minimap and micro maddeningly more difficult than it ever needed to be.
On a side note, why do Mac's have this stupid feature? During the Dark ages of 56k connections was there some good reason for making the precision of the mouse less accurate?

You have done a great job. Thank you.
but I found an issue. I use Mac OSX (lion) and a Razer Death Adder. So far I have followed your instructions to the letter.
I was surprised at first because you have made the only solution that works, but not at 100 percent.
The acceleration appears to reverse! When I move the cursor slowly moves faster than when I move quickly. It is hardly visible but just as annoying. Maybe that acceleration should not be set to -1 but at 0.00. Am I wrong?
My solution is very basic and not very professional. For the Death Adder I set a macro button to change the profile. In the game I just click on this button and configure the Razer driver takes over.
I prefer to use your program if I had not this problem.

Decelerate does not work correctly for gamers for reasons I already discussed, and honestly it's a ripoff of an app since you can do exactly what it does for free yourself.

You are an absolute genius! It feels so great to be back to regular mouse movement! Its almost weird to not have to cope with random mouse movement anywhere on the screen!
Many thanks!

THANK YOU.
Long-time reader here, created account just to say thanks.
Also, another tip for those of you running OS X Lion and finding your mouse to be laggy / choppy even when not gaming, I solved my lag issue by turning spotlight off for my network mounted locations (ie my local file server), for my Win 7 bootcamp disk, and for an old non-SSD HDD I had installed (it's a mac pro, with 2 SSD's and two HDDs raid-1).
Your app fixed my gaming issues, where acceleration was a constant problem. THANK YOU!! I used to dual boot *just because of this!!*

I can't get this to work in Lion. Worked in Snow Leopard. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. What else can I try?
- Razer Imperator (current firmware and driver)
- SC2 1.3.6.19269
|
I'm aware of some folks having lion issues. I'm not sure what could be causing it yet other than a messed up upgrade. I'm looking into it.
It is working for me and many people on lion, so it's a fairly isolated issue.
Also, note the donate in the readme  I've spent easily 15+ hours a week answering people's questions about it and providing free tech support. I donated most of the proceeds until now (about $175) to the Child's Play charity as I was fine on moneys. I'm not so fine anymore. Donations will be used to buy myself a few tools to fix my bed and couch

Lion users having troubles, if you could install a fresh install of lion on a new partition (you can do this without harming your current install at all), and try mousefixer, that would help me a lot.
That's about the only way I can narrow down this issue.
|
I have a fresh install of Lion. In my case, it seems that Mousefixer has made it so that the mouse cursor moves slower when I'm moving fast, and it moves faster when I'm moving slow. It's not a 100% fix, but it is leaps and bounds better than before. Good on ya Bumblebees [you better not be key logging us :-( ]. I used to keep my mouse sensitivity at 1% when playing Starcraft 2. After I installed Lion, it all went to hell. This fix should work for me until I get my new gaming PC. I love my MacBook, just not for gaming :-(

Did any of you know that SteelSeries ExactMouse tool does exactly the same thing as this app, except it has a UI for you to turn it on and off? http://steelseries.com/support/downloads (all the way at the bottom)
strange thing is that SteelSeries mice don't have mac drivers... you still really need a Razer mouse that has a mac utility/drivers for you to fine tune the sensitivity.
also, I've been using it in Lion with no problems

It doesn't do the exact same thing, sorry.
It is close, but mouse fixer is both more efficient and reacts much quicker to interference from certain softwares.
Use whichever you like, doesn't bother me. I do know how my software works, and I also know how exactmouse works... and I know mine is better
|
A lion test fix will be coming soon.
|
Mousefixer is working for me in Lion, but when SC2 starts it seems to take over and the sensitivity changes drastically.
Temporary workaround: Since I have mousefixer working in the OS, but not SC2, I unplug the mouse after SC2 starts and after I plug it back in it looks like the OS takes back over and all is well.
|
The tool is great, but is there any chance to adjust the mouse sens in the OS with a logitech mouse?
|
If this works properly you are my fucking hero! My mouse basically has a will of its own most of the time.
