I have a MacBook pro, and a iMac, both running Lion. And 2 Razer DeathAdder 3500dpi mouses. I am really impressed and happy with the solution. All props to you Bumblebees. One note though, i had been so used to he acceleration, that i played way worse for a few days but it think it really pays of in the long run. | ||

I have played around with it for the last few days, but have had no success in fixing the issue. I have the SC2 speed set to 1% (it doesn't go any lower). I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and a Razer Imperator, with the Driver panel installed. I sent you a PM telling you to turn the SC2 down to 1%, oops. I hadn't seen your post yet. Make sure the razer driver panel has accel off, and that any other mouse programs are completely gone. Check /Applications /Library/Application Support /System/Library/Extensions and also in ~. If it's still happening, make sure mousefixer2 is running. Open activity monitor and look for the mousefixer2 process. Also, you need to make sure that the screen resolution of sc2 is the same as your desktop. Your mouse sensitivity will differ on different resolutions (it is called dots-per-inch for a reason!). | ||

I unfortunately am running 10.5.x still and am not in a position to up it just yet | ||

Don't count on it, but I'm looking into it.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure about other people but I stuck to 10.5 because when 10.6 came out I bought it, upgraded, and was horrified to find that snow leopard had terrible memory leak issues which made any of my games unplayable after 5-6 minutes of gameplay. Downgraded immediately and adopted the philosophy of "if it anit broke don't fix it". I think quite a few gamers might do the same seeing as most people in my community still run XP. | ||

I'm pretty horrible with Cocoa currently, so progress is limited by the interaction of my desire for things to work correct and look amazing, and my complete lack of knowledge in this area. I also decided to rewrite it in sbcl till I realized how horrible it is to do Mac ui's in lisp. Heh, It was a fun exercise though. I almost know how to use glut in lisp now! hahaha I'm also writing a large sequel to my low apm guide made for people of all skill levels. I'm hopping back and forth between the projects actively  It'll get there soonish. | ||

Thanks. Edit: In case this makes a difference...I dont think the fix is working even before i change the sensitivity in the fashion mentioned above. Edit 2: I realized that there is also no process listed for mousefixer before or after the restart. Should this be the case (does the process not continue running if a compatible mouse isnt found). | ||

Perhaps someone using a logitech might be able to answer as well. I have a relatively cheap logitech mouse (M110), when I configure it via logitechs "control center thing" it only has something listed as "Tracking Speed Multiplier". So far the mousefixer program hasn't worked for me....Im not sure if the acceleration curve is the same as before but it definitely doesn't feel like it does in windows. So I was wondering if this mouse just doesn't have the required modifiable ability for the program to work. Thanks.

You can not use third party mouse utilities with Mousefixer. LCC is not a driver in the traditional sense. You need to uninstall it and remove it completely for mousefixer to work. Tracking speed multiplier is nothing more than multiplying the built-in mouse ballistics of OS X. Mousefixer2 should be in your list of processes. Check /Library/LaunchAgents for com.bumblebees.mousefixer.plist. If it's not there, then try adding it to your startup items (system preferemces->accounts->login items) with it set to hide. If that works then I suggest living with that for now. I'm working on getting a proper UI version out soon. | ||

When I add it to startup items...it opens it up in property list editor. Is there another interference I should be looking for?..as far as i know there is no other mouse related software on the computer. | ||

Check your applications folder. Make sure the mousefixers folder is unlocked and you have full access to it. If you do not, just unlock it and give everyone read/write access. Mine was locked -- once I gave everyone access I reinstalled the program. Shortly thereafter, the mousefixer2 process was running upon each startup. Previously it would not -- and I did try adding the plist file to the login items and it made no difference. Thanks for your work on this. | ||

Sorry if this is a stupid question but are you running 10.5.8 leopard by any chance? I had the same problem and didn't realize it only works with snow leopard and upwards. | ||

The program seems to be running now... One last question. Does changing the sensitivity in game (SC2) interfere with Mousefixer? (i.e. does SC2 just tell the OS to change the tracking speed in the normal way?)At the moment it would leave me somewhat limited, but if I get lucky with one of my mice just happening to be a decent sensitivity it might be fine. | ||

Good deal. I did not seem to notice any change in sensitivity using the in game sc2 adjustments. I believe it was mentioned somewhere that it doesn't have any effect once the fix is installed. I believe you'd need to make DPI adjustments from this point -- or before installing it -- if able. | ||

I have my Deathadder sensitivity set as high as it will go and 1800 dpi, but it is still not sensitive enough outside of SC2. When I use SC2, it becomes ridiculously more sensitive (I had to adjust it down to 3% in game). Is there ANY way to make it more sensitive outside of SC2? The DA software just isn't giving me enough juice to get across this big screen! Is there a way to adjust system preferences AND use your software? | ||

If you deathadder goes above 1800dpi (most are 3500 aren't they?) Set it to that, and use the sensitivity in the driver panel. If your mouse is maxed dpi and it's still too slow, buy a new mouse. I strongly suggest reading the thread, and the readme included with the program. | ||
