alexaltair2 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 My PS/2 mouse tracking speed is not accurate even when set to lowest point in Preferences. Any way to adjust it? It's so annoying, I can't hit proper buttons on the screen. Maybe there is a way to adjust DPI thrue editing some .kext ?...

np101137 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Try replacing ApplePS2Controller.kext with one from a lower version DVD. This could fix it....

Rammjet Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 You can try to adjust the "com.apple.mouse.scaling" value in the hidden file "~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist" But this is an encoded .plist so you will need to use Property List Editor from the Apple Xcode tools or use something like PlistEditPro ($) - don't know if there is a demo and if it will work in demo mode. If you use PlistEditPro, install the command line script: pledit Then in Terminal, type: pledit ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist and edit the mouse parameter. Another solution is to try the freebie Mousezoom: http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/mousezoom.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37124-mouse-tracking-speed-too-fast/#findComment-264158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexaltair Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 This "issue" since very first release of OSX89. I tried PlistEdit Pro (thanks for the great editor! ) and I found that "com.apple.mouse.scaling" parameter is set to 0.00000000. I tried different small values which has no visible impact on cursor speed. Then I tried to put minus before it, no effect. OSX simple ignore everything below zero value. The MouseZoom, again at very small value it still moves to fast I'm going to try PS/2 to USB adapter, but that's different story. Last time I tried it, I remember I was needed to unplug/plug the adapter every time at boot...

McSkywalker Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 What's the brand of your mouse? If it is something like Microsoft or Logitech, install the proper control panel. Those control panels usually let you override the default system mouse tracking speed. If it is a regular brand, try USB Overdrive with your PS2/USB adapter.

alexaltair Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 A4Tech, it's wireless mouse and keyboard set. And there is no drivers for OSX exist. Ok, I tried PS2/USB adapter and found that mouse don't work at all. Also at boot keyboard disappeared and OSX offered to recognize it... I did unplug and plug back PS2/USB adapter and mouse worked. Mouse tracking speed is smooth now, but I have to find a solution rather then jump under the table, move the case, unplug and plug adapter every time I turn on my computer or reboot.

SpykeVicious Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 How did you solve the mouse issue? I'm trying USB Overdrive, it fixes the speed, but not the acceleration. The mouse is overly jumpy and still unusable.
