Which mouse do you use and how is it working? I have a logitech g5 and it's abit choppy for some reason. Even with steermouse, its not the same as windows or a native mac.

anyone?

I use an apple mighty mouse and it works like a charm.

I use A4 Tech X6 mouse. It's working more than fine

Logitech Cordless keyboard combo USB, great key and mouse action - fluid and fast
Logitech Cordless lasermouse USB dongle, great mouse action - fluid and fast
Microsoft Notebook optical mouse - works fine, good tracking, less smooth than Logitech ones.
Original G4 see-through single button optical mouse - very fluid and fast

I messed with the usb settings in bios and now the mouse is working much better. Mainly legacy usb support settings.

Razer Lachesis with USBOverdrive

Logitech MX Revolution and Logitech wave keyboard, both work perfectly in Vista & Leopard. I'm using latest Logitech Control Center 2.4, all macros on keyboard & buttons on mouse work without a hitch.

Razer Deathadder.

A 'Cyber Snipa Intelliscope' - the most stupidly named product on Earth, and it has stupid 'bling' lights all over it, in two colours. It works very well and has a very comfortable shape to it. I assume it's aimed at gamers, but it was the cheapest decent laser mouse I could find...

Mine lives in 1000dpi mode (red lights), what's the 2400 for? I don't want the cursor to move from one edge of the screen to the other in less than an inch!

My previous Logitech iFeel was great, but the feet on the bottom wore out with 6 years constant use, so it was getting a bit rough to move around.

A lot:

Microsoft Optical Mouse
Microsoft Explorer 4
Microsoft Wireless Mouse
Microsoft Wireless Explorer 2
Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse
Microsoft Wireless Notebook Mouse
Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000
Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000
Logitech MX700 Bluetooth Mouse
Kensingtons Notebook Wireless PocketMouse.

and maybe others

Before the Microsoft Software supports it's Bluetooh mice i used SteerMouse, but now I'm very happy with the IntelliPoint software.
Never had a problem but didn't like the movement with SteerMouse

Logitech MX 518
I'm also experiencing some erratic behaviour. Even before I got SteerMouse to get rid of the annoying acceleration (and add working sidebuttons) I've had problems with the cursor randomly "jumping" a few pixles ahead of itself when I'm moving it.
I'm fine with this when just doing everyday stuff but in Photoshop this is REALLY annoying when I do pixle-precise work. Also when I try to draw a "perfect" circle in Photoshop it will turn more out like a square-ish blob, must be some weird mouse axis curves under the OSX hood. Lastly, a problem I ONLY experience in Photoshop is the mouse appears to move with a much lower framerate than outside of the app, when I have tools that interact with the canvas selected. For instance when I select the marquee tool and move it about it's really laggy but the second I go outside the work area and the cursor turns into the regular mac cursor it moves perfectly smooth (except the few jumps as mentioned). When I use the magnifying tool however it doesn't lag... Just weird.

Anywho, I've been considering buying a Mighty Mouse hoping it might help somehow, and I'd really like something that match the Aluminum Keyboard I just got.

Im using an MX5000 bluetooth mouse and keyboard, its been great with me! Worked right out of the box and even though it says its not OSX compatible, the touch n slide volume and mute controls work great!

It even tells me the date, inside temperature and time!

Using the Apple Aluminum keyboard, and a Logitech G5 Laser Mouse.

I just wish the back button would work on the mouse...

Logitech MX1000

i use a Logitech ultrax media desktop (Mouse + keypad)it work fine, but if i install the logitech control center tell me thet there is no input device... how can i use it?? my mouse lateral button don't work....

That's weird, I also use a MX518 and don't have that problem.

My mice:
Logitech MX310
Logitech MX518

What's your hardware and what release you got? It may just be that you're one of the lucky ones that can't see past 30fps. I'm very sensetive to framerates and stuttering, I can tell whether a monitor is set to 60hz or 75hz by the movement of a mouse. For instance; I've heard stories told far and wide of people that thought Mass Effect ran smooth on the Xbox 360. For me, it was living hell

I think I'm experiencing the same problem on my deathadder.
I just realized it after reading your post.

Anyone have any ideas? And if I change to mightymouse, would it work properly?

thanks =I

I use a Logitech LX7 cordless, works flawlessly (except when it was plugged into the PS/2 port, where it didn't work at all

Logitech VX laptop mouse (use on all my systems)
Logitech MX610
Logitech MX400

Logitech MX310

Razer Copperhead mouse (laser 2000dpi), love this thing
smooth, nimble and accurate. if i had to complain about anything its the side button positions

The bad mouse behavior some of us are experiencing is obviously not a bad choice of mice since they work flawlessly in Windows. This must either be a problem with OS X itself, for instance USB kernels or whatever, or a hackintosh-specific related issue, possibly display drivers/card (I'm using a Radeon HD 3870 with netkas latest drivers).

I've never seen or tried a Mac in my entire life so I don't know how it's supposed to behave. For all I know this is how it's meant to be and some people just can't see it even though it's there.

I'm using system.kext for kernel 9.2.2 and I'm about to downgrade it to 9.2.0 compatible version to see if this fixes the problem.

(Update: no change)

I used to use Razer Deathadder and it was pretty choppy.. It would jump a few pixels often, which got really annoying in PS.
So I decided to purchase the mighty mouse and all is fine now.

It's exactly the same for real Macs too!!

The problem is that mac os x can only adjust tracking speed and not sensitivity...
You can try steermouse which adds sensitivity setting.
It does wonders and now my mouse (logitech mx518) behaves exactly like windows!!!

Yup, I just tried an iMac in the Apple store in town today and it was the same. Unfortunatly I already use Steermouse but it's still jittery in Photoshop. It's slightly better in Painter but it's still there. It's just so damned weird that it goes from choppy to smooth when I move the cursor out of the document/canvas window. This should really be addressed by Apple, Adobe or whomever is to blame for this problem since Macs are supposed to be great video/sound/graphics/media stations and this really ruins part of it if you do the kind of work I do.

anyone using a razor lachesis?

I've used:

Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000
Logitech PS/2 Optical Wheel Mouse
Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse

No problems at all with any of those. Actually, I don't even care about what mouse I use, but the MS Laser Mouse fits my hand PERFECTLY.

Hi all.
I´m new to the forum and now I´m facing a little problem.

I have installed 10.5.2 Kalyway DVD on my rig and it´s working fine.
When I was using my additional keyboard and mouse (PS/2) while my Wireless Desktop 2000 from Microsoft was fixing, I had no problem at all, but now that my wireless keyboard and mouse returned I´m facing the problem that my mouse goes crazy and then freezes after waking up from sleep. It is configured with Microsoft drivers for mac - because it is compatible with mac - and still freezing any way.

If you all have any idea that could help me, I´d be grateful.

I used to have a microsoft optical mouse but just this afternoon, I bought a bluetooth mouse: Sony Vaio BMS30. It's very good but I have a slight problem though. Everytime I boot into my Hackintosh, i still have to pair it with my laptop. Is there a way to have the bluetooth mouse work automatically without pairing it first? thanx!

I have the logitech G5 (3 dpi settings) i have it set to max dpi. on iAtkos v4i, and i have noticed it jumping pixels and not smooth. I've tried it on my mousepad and just my desk and same results. i think i'm going to try out the steer mouse and check my bios like ocZZZ said.

I've found out later this is a pretty wide-spread problem http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.3bc3c251/0 (Even though the topic is about a drawing tablet and Photoshop CS3, some folks are reporting it happening outside of the application as well, just not equally severe, which is both problems I'm having. Also, I'm guessing the problem is present for them using a mouse, but most of the folks use a tablet most of the time)

I mostly noticed the jumpy mouse when playing FPS games like SOFII, I did install steer mouse and love it so far. really seems to smooth it out. thanks guys
