You can download it here: http://smoothmouse.com/ More detailed info on the problem that Smoothmouse solves: http://d43.me/blog/1205/the-cause-for-all-your-mac-os-x-mouse-annoyances/ EDIT: Note that I have nothing to do with the development of this software, I'm just trying to spread the awareness. | ||

This is what I used to solve this issue like 2.5 years ago (and after the upgrade to 10.8 it still seems to be working fine). I left acceleration on for the trackpad because it felt terrible with it off. But for mice it is completely off. I didn't notice any delay/lag when using either my Death Adder, either of my G1s or my G9X (which somehow now works great with 10.8. With 10.6 it was downright broken to use and had weird tracking issues). | ||

I can't really describe it better, but if you have a Windows partition on your Mac, you probably know that the mouse feels much more snappier and accurate in Windows. | ||

Although I don't game in OSX anymore i would really like my mouse to be consistent between OS:es. EDIT: Can't download it, says I don't have permission. EDIT 2: Made an account, that solved it. EDIT 3: Urg, it needs Lion? Here I was thinking I could get away with running Snow Leopard... | ||

What I stated above your post goes for every way of disabling acceleration except for Smoothmouse. I have used USBOverdrive for many years to disable acceleration, but it wont fix the core issue. | ||

It's shareware, but I don't think you lose any functionality for using it for free, it just makes you click through a dialogue box when you go into the settings.Gonna give this a shot.

They seem different but I can't seem to figure out which feels better. turning it "on" overall makes a difference though. EDIT: just found the answer to my question: " Linear mode gives you no mouse acceleration. Windows mode mimics Windows mouse acceleration ("enhance pointer precision" checkbox). Windows acceleration curve is more gentle compared to OS X acceleration curve. " | ||

Ever since the last patch, I've noticed a HUGE change in mouse latency. To the extent where my selection box now absolutely keeps up with my mouse, whereas it used to lag behind noticeably!! Thank you to labbe and the development team, this has truly changed my gameplay. | ||
