UPDATE: Version 1.0.7 of SmoothMouse is now out, and it now works on Snow Leopard, along with other performance improvements. So for those of you still on Snow Leopard, I strongly suggest you give SmoothMouse a shot!

You can download it here: http://smoothmouse.net/forum/topic/40-release-notes/#entry909

I just bought a new Mac Air, is this the best option to fix the mouse acceleration issue?

I have seen several options: using the terminal, various software apps, using software that comes with special gaming mice, among other things. All these have mixed reviews and potential drawbacks.

This looks on the surface to be a better solution, has anyone had any bad experiences with this software?

This is the best one for fixing mouse acceleration. It doesn't have much lag, and very convenient. I tried all of the stuff you said above, and I like this most.

I'm using Secrets System Pref panel to disable mouse acceleration, works great.

I've tried a bunch of fixes and this one is the best by far imo.

The update appears to have fixed most of the earlier concerns.


Thanks!

So much work just to get acceleration off.
It is so silly that Macs don't have a simple toggle switch like windows do. Imagine how many more people would buy macs just because of that.

When I use this application it is fine in OSX, but in SC2 the mouse starts to jump very fast and unpredictable.
Am I alone have such a problem?

Set sc2 to not use it's own sensitivity, play in windowed fullscreen if you have to. I don't know anything of OSX but that's go-to fixes for windows

It's the same deal for OS X as on Windows. Make sure "Enable Mouse Sensitivity" is turned off otherwise the game will override the OS settings, which is problematic because that means the acceleration fix is overridden. Not sure about the Windowed Fullscreen versus fullscreen thing because I've not played fullscreen on my Mac in a long, just windowed. Though I've kinda gone to only playing in windowed mode on my Windows machine too.
